Water lily leaves turning black

25 10:01:44

Question
I just removed every dead blackened leaf 2 days ago, and now have more leaves that are dying and look black.  They were never yellow.  I had my first bloom this AM, and see other blooms.  Help!

Answer
It sounds like the lilliy is either pot bound or there is a fungus present. Try repotting and look for a fungicde at a pond supply store. I tried surfing the web to find a more specific answer but to no avail.

          Hope this Helps
