Hi,
I bought a tropical water lily which I am keeping in a large tub in the heated garage with a big grow light. It is growing well but starting to look tattered, it really needs to get in the pond. But I've never grown tropical water lilies, I know they like warmer temps than hardy obviously. What is a good temp to place the lily out in my pond? I'm in the southern coast of BC Canada, my temps dropped this week to highs of 62 during the day and lows in the high 40's. The pond water temp is staying in the high 50's, currently at 58.
Is that too cold to place it out? Should I wait another week for warmer temps?
Thanks!
