Aim for 65% plant coverage in ponds. Start plants shallow, lowering as they grow. Maintain ideal depth once established. Avoid planting too high (freezing) or low (lack of light). Waterlilies prefer 4-18 inches; lotus 6-18 inches.
Make sure your waterlily or lotus gets enough sunlight—at least four hours, but ideally six hours or more. Some lotus will not flower unless they get six hours of sunlight daily.
Plant lotus and hardy water lilies below freeze line. Lotus prefers warm water. Overwinter tropical water lilies by storing rhizomes in damp sand at 50-55°F. These techniques protect water plants during cold seasons.
Press fertilizer tablets into soil around plants monthly. Avoid adding to water to protect pH and aquatic life. Tropical waterlilies need generous fertilization during their growing season due to high nutrient demands.

The Water Lily Mexicana is a hardy, fast-growing aquatic plant that floats gracefully on water, blooming generously through the warmer months. It not only enhances the aesthetic of your outdoor space but also helps improve pond water quality by providing shade and reducing algae growth.
Ideal for garden ponds in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Sharjah, this variety is easy to maintain. It prefers full sun and still or slow-moving freshwater. Plant it in a submerged pot using aquatic soil, placing it 15–30 cm below the water surface.
Pair it with other water-loving plants like Lotus, Water Hyacinth, or Pickerelweed for a balanced aquatic garden.
Care Tips: Ensure 5–6 hours of daily sunlight, fertilize monthly with aquatic plant tablets, and remove dead leaves regularly. Prune old blooms to encourage new growth.
