Our Hardy Water Lilies Rhizomes are extremely easy to grow to maturity in ponds or deck and patio containers. Important things to remember: Place the tubers at a 45° angle with the non-growing end against the side of the pot and the crown(where the leaves come out) towards the middle of the pot. Add fertilizer for water lilies. Lilies are heavy feeders and should be fertilized regularly. Press the soil around the roots, being careful not to cover the crown of the plant. They should be placed at a water depth of 6" to 12". When placing lilies in the pond, position them away from waterfalls and fountains as they prefer still water. Review: Perfect Bloom - I recently made my second purchase of the Aqualeaf Aquatics Live Water Lily Tuber in Purple, and based on last year’s experience, I couldn’t be more excited. The first tuber I received arrived healthy and well-packaged, with a firm rhizome that showed no signs of rot. After planting it in my pond, it established itself quickly—new leaves appeared within a week, and by the sixth week, I was enjoying rich, purple blooms that added a stunning focal point to my garden. The plant continued to thrive throughout the season, producing flowers consistently and requiring minimal care. While I’ve seen some reviewers mention receiving tubers that were soft or failed to grow, I personally had a very positive experience. The key, I believe, was planting it promptly and following the care instructions closely. My water lily not only survived but flourished, even with some shifting temperatures later in the season. I’ve since recommended Aqualeaf Aquatics to fellow pond enthusiasts for their quality plants and responsive customer service. Now that I’ve received my second order, I’m looking forward to seeing these new lilies perform just as the one from last year. The tubers once again arrived in excellent condition, and I’ve already placed them in the pond. If they do as well as before, I’m confident my pond will be bursting with color and life all summer long. Review: Never grew. Died. - Never germinate. Followed instructions perfectly... nada. not a single plant nor seed from desertcart has grown. I have grown cherry trees from lumberyard sticks of rough cut cherry successfully. I don't know what desertcart does but NOTHING has grown.

Never grew. Died.
Never germinate. Followed instructions perfectly... nada. not a single plant nor seed from Amazon has grown. I have grown cherry trees from lumberyard sticks of rough cut cherry successfully. I don't know what Amazon does but NOTHING has grown.

Great aquatic plant
The tuber arrived an unimpressive thing, with one healthy leaf sticking out of its crown and nothing else. I planted it just as the instructions directed and wow, it has grown like crazy. I've rarely seen a plant grow this fast from virtually nothing. It hasn't flowered yet, but is already putting numerous lily pads at the surface, less than a month after planting. Given this alone, I'm very happy with it. Planted June 9, ~12" below the water line, in a pot filled with alternating layers of seachem fluorite and fluval stratum aquasoil, each layer containing root tabs from a bag of ADA Amazonia v2. A very nutrient-rich substrate. Sixteen gallon planter pond, dechlorinated tap water, 7.5 pH, ~5 GH, ~5 KH.

Perfect!
It took the plant a year to produce a flower but it was worth the waiting. What a beauty! Once our pond expansion is completed, I will definitely purchase a few more from this buyer. Please remember that water plants requires special soil and care. Check out the aquatic plants products on the platform. I got a good deal on all I needed to care for the pond plants.

Ask if fish will eat or interrupt growth!
It came quickly and with full instructions to plant immediately. It was doing great for 4-5 days until I saw parts of each Lilly starting to die. I finally caught the reason why!……… my very large 8 inch fantail goldfish eating them. I also have 3 14-17 inch koi that I am afraid my be eating them as well. I will keep you updated!!

WHITE Water Lily - Goldfish approved!
We bought 3 of the WHITE water lillies from this vendor and could not be more happy. The only store that carries them near me charges $60/water lily so this vendor saved us a lot of money. All the bulbs came in healthy and good condition with leaves/ roots and started growing rapidly after transplanting into my goldfish pond.

Maybe it's me
Mine died. It was just a little greenish tuber, and Idk if it was how I planted it, the water temperature or sunlight or what, but it didn't survive.
