Default Dead heading water lilly flowers

Do you get increased numbers of water lilly flowers if you dead head
them in the same way you treat land based plants?

I haven't been able to get in the water and remove dead stems this
year and really can't tell the difference in their production of
blooms. I moved some into larger pots this spring and that seems to
encourage more blooms.

Supposedly. You also are removing material that would rot otherwise and
foul the water. ~ jan
