Planting Details
- Planting Depth: Submerge the rhizome about 18-24 inches below the water’s surface to give it space to grow and bloom effectively.
- Spacing: Space your water lilies about 3-4 feet apart to allow for proper growth and to avoid overcrowding.
- Soil Requirements: Use nutrient-rich, clay-based aquatic soil or place the rhizome in a water lily basket to ensure it remains secure.

Care Instructions
Watering
- Water Level: Keep the water level stable, ensuring the rhizomes stay submerged while the flowers float above the water.

Pest and Disease Management
- Pests: Tropical water lilies are generally pest-resistant but check for aphids, snails, or other pests, and treat with organic methods if needed.
- Diseases: Monitor for common pond plant diseases such as root rot or fungal infections, and ensure the pond has good water circulation to prevent these issues.
Storage
- Winter Care: In colder climates, the 'Pink Night Bloomer' will need to be overwintered in a frost-free location. Keep the rhizomes in a cool, moist environment until the next growing season.
