I killed My Water Lily

Posted by jcurts (My Page) on

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

Are there any new leaves appearing? Have you fertilized recently? Are it roots bound so that it needs dividing?

We had the plant a week.
It was fine one day then pump failed and the next day the lily failed.
I seriously doubt normal growing issues are the cause.

Each waterlily flower only lasts two or three days.

Just pull it off.
