Hello a couple days ago I planted my first water lily that I ordered online, the first picture is of it freshly planted. Over the last few day the pads have been decaying through these large holes that have appeared, they seem to be getting bigger and bigger, do you guys have any ideas why?
I have them planted in montmorillonite clay with rocks on top, the crown is not covered by the rocks. I put 3 fertilizer tabs in the clay. The lilies are near the waterfall, i know the ripples aren't ideal, could this be why? I know it has to be growing because a pad that was submerged reached the surface, and a new one is coming up.
My pond is 4000-5000 gallons and only has 1 goldfish in it
Thank you!
