My pond temperature is down to 46 deg. F. The remaining lily pads are

Depends, I'm in Zone 7a and leave the ones in the koi ponds at 14". In the
lily pond they're on the bottom at 2 feet already.

Precisely how is it done. Do I trim off all of the growth and just
sink the pot containing the tuber? TIA John

Yes. Trim all the yellowing pads off, if you're going to screen your ponds
(as I do) remove all the pads. ~ jan
