Question
I have a very nice and large water lilly that has gotten to large for my pond. Most of the center of the lilly stands up out of the water. Can a lilly be seperated and moved to other ponds.
Thanks

Answer
You should repot the lily.  They will grow up out of the water when they're out of room to grow on the water's surface and/or need repotting (root bound).  You can divide it up to put some back in your pond and/or for another pond.  Check out these links on my site.
