The timing and method of propagation are similar to other water lilies. Cultivation Method: Water lilies are generally planted in ponds or tanks with a water depth of 30 to 60 cm. Aquatic plant soil can be used, and since nutrient management is important, appropriate aquatic plant fertilizer should be applied. A location with plenty of sunlight is ideal, and it is recommended to receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

Additionally, there is a possibility of water mold or gray mold developing. Effective control methods include periodically inspecting the leaves to manually remove pests or using appropriate insecticides. To prevent fungal diseases, it is important to maintain clean water quality and promptly remove any infected areas.
