Water Lilly Mortality!
I have four water lillies of different varieties in my pond. All but two
still have leaves & these aren't looking too healthy with brown spots over much of the leaves. My pond is around 8ft in diameter, on average 25cm deep. It's 50-70% shaded throughout much of the day with the most light exposure being during morning hours. After placing the lillies in the position where they would receive the least direct light I moved them to a spot where they would receive the most due to the leaves dying off. Before the leaves started dying I did notice some brown spotting on the leaves. I read somewhere this was due to a lack of nutrients so added some non-phospherous fertiliser. This caused an algae bloom & didn't seem to help the lillies at all. Animal life in the pond include 4 standard goldfish, one lionhead goldfish, a handfull of minnows, four mystery snails & a couple of unknown snails. |
