Growing
Instructions for the Blue Water Lily
1. Fill a small
container with garden soil, not potting soil. 2. Sow the seeds on the surface
of the soil. 3. Cover the seed with a thin layer of fine sand. 4. Fill an
aquarium or a bowl with enough water to submerge the pot with the seeds under
2-3 inches of water. 5. Provide light and warmth for the seeds and the
seedlings. A grow light placed 18 inches to 24 inches above the seeds works
well. The seeds take 3-4 weeks to germinate. When the first leaves reach the
water surface, they can be transplanted.
