Keeping Water Lily::Mangkala Ubol>>Flower Page 2>>18/07/2016

Unread post by SCORPIO »

Since long, I want to keep lilies. Last year started with one blue lily known as Nymphaea midnight caprice. This I decided to source more lilies.

First step is to choose suitable pot for keeping lillies. After reading, I choose a 12 inch height, plastic pot.
The Pot

Second step was to decide about substrate. First I thought to keep lillies in aquarium substrate. But finally I choose DIY substrate. This substrate is a mixture of local soil, construction sand and cow dung. All of these has been covered by gravels.

Substrate in Pot

Finally filled with water

Comments and Suggestions are most welcome.

In coming days I am receiving some more Lily.

I got several lily free of cost from my friends.

Some got in exchange with other plants.

A single pot costs around 800 to 1000 Rs.
