water lily struggling

[deadlus3d]

Hello,

I have a problem with our water lily.

The new leaf appears to be reddish brown.

Can I save the plant or does it have a disease? We have had the house for nine months and so
far have not added fertilizer to the plant.

Many thanks

The new leaves on some water lilies are naturally reddish, so it may not be a problem. If you could post a photo we might be able to confirm if it looks normal or not.

Pop a clay root tab or 2 into the pot will never hurt...

Mine are reddish brown to begin with, then change after a while

All of mine are reddish brown at the moment.
