Water Lillies

[dklowery]

We purchased some water Lilly's for our little water pond and I did not notice this until today. Some of the Lilly pads are curled up. I searched for this and found this could be a symptom of root rot except that they are not yellow.

Could it be new growth?

Looks like new leaves!

Thanks for confirming that for me.

yep new leaves .Do you fertilize them .I have mine in a lily pond by themselves and just throw in a little miracle grow .No fish in there so no harm

We have Lilly tabs. Also fish.

Miracle grow will harm fish? I was wondering about using Miracle grow in a water lily pot when I saw the post.

Miracle Gro in itself will likely not harm fish, but it will certainly add to the nutrient level of the pond if not used prudently. Plants in a pond with fish should not need supplemental fertilization.
