Hi all,
I bought a hardy water lily from home depot... it was in a plastic package and inside of it there was a sort of bag which contained the plant/bulb that can be dropped into the water at a certain depth (i placed mine on one of my shelves). The plant had a sort of moldy film on it and i have no idea how long it was packaged... the plant was actually growing out of the fiber bag that it comes in which was inside of the box. I saw that some of the leaves were very green and 2 were brown. I thought the brown one was rotten or moldy so i broke it off but it seemed green inside. After i rinsed the mold off, i dropped it in the water (that was today).
Anyone else bought any of these packaged plants to try out? Any luck with them or do you think its a waste of money? Each box said "Guaranteed to grow" on the outside so that is why I bought it...
