I killed My Water Lily

jcurts
11 years ago

We just acquired a water lily which bloomed nicely and opened each morning.

A water pump shorted out and the water became very electrically charged.

The plant has not opened it's bloom since.

Is the electricity the reason the plant is not functioning?

Thank you

Jim
