In the UK each plant lasts only one season so we replant each year. Growth depends on environmental conditions including water temperature, light levels, nutrients and growing space so the answer is, ‘it depends’!

in answer to victor shaw, 23rd Oct a 6ft dia. lily pad would support a weight of 147 lb., evenly distributed, for every 1″ of wall height so with a wall height of 4″ it would support a quarter of a ton!

My dad is reading this to me – but how does this plant know that the Beetle likes white and dislikes pink.

A pad of approximatly 6 ft. diameter. What would the wall depth be at its perimeter? and if weight were distributed evenly what
could it carry? Also what would be the thickness of the leaf?
