Lily Problem
The lily I bought for my new pond a few weeks ago (Nymphaea Carnea) has
had it. The leaves developed black patches and one by one the leaves rotted at the base and detached themselves. I took the tuber/root out the pot and found the top to be soft. I,ve tried re-potting it after cutting the soft area off and put it in a bucket rather than the pond but I'm not too hopeful. Two questions. Googling for Lily problems I found mention of root rot a fungal disease. Does this sound like what I've got and if so what steps can I take to prevent it happening again. In retrospect I suppose I should have planted it in a bucket until sure it was healthy. Is this worth doing for any new plants. If so for how long. Is it a possible water quality problem. The water is clear. I haven't tested it but the fish are all fine. Is there any levels ie salt nitrates ph etc that would kill lilies. Iain |
