I'm still having problems with water lillies.

We have a 1/2 barrel with a pygmea - produces lots of leaf but
hasn't flowered for 2 years. Somewhat shaded but the plant is
very vigorous.

Also, a large pond 3m x 5m and up to 1.5 m deep but in full
sun. We put in 2 lillies ~3 years ago, they flowered the first
year and have done very little since. One seems to have died. A
couple of months ago, we bought a third, which produced one
flower but isn't exactly flourishing.


Water lillies are food and sun hungry.

Give the first more sun and the both a buried pellet of slow release
fertilizer.
