Hardy Pond Lilly Propagation

[Chester Deja]

I planted my Pond lillys last year in large 1' diameter pots. I
fertilized them and it appears that they are all roots now and filling
the pots. How and when should I propagate them? I would prefer to do
it soon because I prefer not to go swimming next spring (brrrr). I
also need to know how to propagate them. Any advise or website info
appreciated.

You can do it now, only you'll probably have a lot of set back, unless it
is cool and you have a shady place to do it. Be prepared to remove the old
pads quickly once back in the pond if they dried out too much during
repotting.

You will see where the growth starts, looks kind of like the face of a
lobster to me, cut back from the growth about 2" and try to leave as much
dirt around them, without disturbing the roots. Put the cut edge right up
against the side of potting container.

I'd use a bigger pot. I use baskets lined with weed cloth that are 12" X
18" and a lily will still grow all the way across that 18" in one season.
The shadier the pond the slower the growth. Lily pond I divide the hardies
every year, Koi pond, more shade, once every 2 years. ~ jan

Great pictures.... for potting tropical lilies. Can you find some for hardy
lilies? One doesn't want to plant them in the middle like was shown on the
above web page. :o) ~ jan

Some of you may recall my trials and tribulations with my lily pond and the
pH?

This year I decided not to empty and muck it out. There wasn't much muck
anyway, and I'm hoping the bottom drain & skimmer are going to be connected
to an out of pond filter soon (no digging has started) :o( The hope that
with aged water, the pH wouldn't spike.

Well, pH was 9.0 today, so aged water didn't fix that.... Dang! Not sure
why this happens every spring, by now the cement blocks around the edge,
after 5 years, have surely leached all they're gonna leach. Dang! Back to
water changes, which seem to fix the problem. ~ jan

What effect does a PH that high have on your water lilies?
