Hello all,

I'm clueless about water lillies and
would appreciate any advice.

I am wondering how much folks pay for
water lillies? Out here in Southern Cal.
I'm seeing them for about $30.00 each.

Will lillies propogate? In other words, if
I buy one and plant it in an underwater
planter, will more lillies sprout? I've seen
some of your pictures and, based on the cost
(here), of $30.00 each, nothing less than a
small fortune has been invested in lillies.

Thanks for your comments.


Perhaps in a year the lily can be repotted and divided. Lilies need to
be fertilized every month in the summer. Don't leave it in the potting
soil from the store. Many people replant in kitty litter, the cheapest
pure clay type. Happy water gaedening.
