watering
Hardy water lily (Nymphaea 'Sunny Pink') should be watered once or twice a week, depending on the weather. During hot, sunny weather water it more often, adding up to an inch of water each time. In cooler, wetter conditions, it will need less. Be sure to check the soil before watering as adequate soil moisture may still be present. As a rule, avoid overwatering as it can cause leaves to turn yellow or become limp.
sunlight
The hardy water lily (Nymphaea 'Sunny Pink') needs full sun exposure for around 8-10 hours daily in order to thrive. Exposure to full sun should be uninterrupted throughout the day since shade in the evening can harm its growth and development. During the summer months, the hardy water lily should have full sun exposure from early morning until mid-afternoon. During the winter months, when the sun is weaker, the amount of direct sunlight should be increased to ensure that the water lily receives the necessary 8-10 hours of sunlight daily. It is important to ensure that the hardy water lily is not exposed to harsh afternoon sunlight since it can cause sunburn if exposed for too long.
pruning
Hardy water lily (Nymphaea 'Sunny Pink') should be pruned once a year after flowering in late summer or early fall. Pruning should involve cutting back any stems that have grown too long or too heavy with flower buds or finished flowers. All cut stems should be removed. In addition, any leaves that have become damaged, diseased, faded, or senescent should be removed. Pruning should be minimal and only performed to encourage plant vigor and a desirable overall shape.
