Default Lily Roots

Hi All,

I have three lily roots which are now floating on the surface of my pond in
So. Calif. Is there an easy/best way to weight them down to the bottom? I
don't want to plant them in a container.

Best,

Clarence

I would put a rock on top of them. I'm lazy that way.

All mine are potted, though.

Tie them around a brick or rock to sink them to the bottom. Having
said that, I prefer to keep my lilies potted, with kitty litter for
substrate and lemon size stones on top to keep the koi from uprooting
them...
