Hey everyone, im hoping it's just the change in the seasons, here in Australia we are coming into winter, but all off my lilies are decomposing!
My wife bought me a new one for my birthday at the start of April,looked stunning, bright vivid green pads, has about 10x 15cm pads (as my current lilies have barely any pads and only very tiny).
It's been going strong, new pads coming up, but in the last week they are going brown and dieing off.
Is this because of the shorter days and cooler temperature 20degrees during the day, about 14degs of a night.
Or is it a desease, lack of nutrients in the water?
I'm freaking out a bit cause it looked so cool in the pond, plus being a present I don't want the miss us to think iv killed it lol (this plant is a symbol of our love, when it dies... Yadda yadda lol)
My original lilies don't seem to be browning or dieing off, but then there pads are about 3cm and only 2cm stems off the pot...
I'm not concerned about any flowers, I just want the pads to cover some of the water and give the fish some protection (cats on the prowl recently)
