I decided that I would check on my lilies that purchased from a dealer (not a big box store) since I had not seen them since I potted them at the end of last summer., actually more like early fall. When I pulled the two escarboucle lillies out of the pond they each had a surprise for me. One had multiple eyes growing from it and the other had one new eye but also had some rot and almost no roots. I removed all of the rotted parts from the one and it still left plenty of tuber. With that I repotted with my new formula and I moved them up into shallower water to get them started. I also pulled out the Pink Sunrise and I repotted it as well. It had some awesome growth! Starting to send runners to the surface and the pads are gorgeous! I made a newbie mistake when I planted it last fall. I put the cut end in the middle instead of to the edge of the pot. It had crammed itself into a corner, Glad I checked it. All is well with those three for the moment.
Should I worry about the one lily that had rot? it had new growth and I cut it back to where it was firm what should I be looking for? Anything special?
