Does anyone know how deep to plant lilies and how frequent should they be moved for optimum depth?
At the mo I keep moving them so the leaves remain just under the water, most of them are cuttings I took in March.

What you are doing sounds correct but what species do you have? Dont exceed their maximum depths.
