Last year I foolishly dropped a bundle for a water lily for a container water garden/fountain I keep in a 23-inch pot on my patio. Because the patio is in partial to deep shade where I have the fountain, and I think because the water moved too much, the water lily never thrived. I had two goldfish and two snails in the fountain as well.
One night raccoons came in and had sushi and escargot, and upended the water lily pot . After (I'm embarassed to admit) several months, I finally went out this weekend to clean out the pot and start over. Lo and behold, the water lily corm that was floating on the top of the water has little green shoots. There aren't many roots attached.
I went out and got some "planting medium" (I wish I'd know to just use cat litter) and potted up the little corm and its sprouts. I left it fairly near the top of the sand, only slightly covered, and put the pot in the one bit of sunlight I have.
Any other words of wisdom for me?
Thanks in advance!
