Good morning my Son said to me this morning"dad I have put some food colouring in the small pond to make the water turn blue for you so I will have to empty to day and refill it so I put the end of the small hose pipe in the pond and proceeded to suck on the other end and got a mouth full and it hasn't worked

Put the hose completely in the water till all the air is out of it and then put your thumb wingtip over one end

Hi Woooo sorry I put to many ooo

@wiseowl

Has the waterlily been in 5ft of water before ? if no I wouldn't leave at 5 feet, first year I would sit it on bricks or something similar to about 18 below the water line and as it grows lower it slowly until it at the depth you require , also it will be slow to grow in the spring as the water will stay cold for longer with it being so deep.

update just checked " Attraction " likes to be at the final depth of 2 feet
