Super User burleytog Posted June 18, 2007 Super User Posted June 18, 2007 Say a person wanted to introduce a few pads in a favorite lake of theirs. How hard are they to transplant? Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted June 18, 2007 Super User Posted June 18, 2007 not a clue...but a tip that makes logical sense to me would be that the more you transplant, the better a chance you have of some of them thriving and spreading. Quote
Cajun1977 Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 we had a problem here a while back with whirling disease , this was mostly caused by anglers bringing stuff from one body of water to another. Quote
surfer Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 That might be illegal. Or worse, it might spread diseases. Quote
snapperd1 Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Call the local DNR and ask them I doubt they would allow you to do this unless the lillys are a local species. TD Quote
Triton21 Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Not hard to transplant at all. Be advised that lilly pads are very invasive and will take over a small pond in no tme. Kelley Quote
Super User RoLo Posted June 18, 2007 Super User Posted June 18, 2007 Water Lilies are very vigorous and transplant best in water between 1 and 2.5 feet deep. Since they proprogate rampantly, they shouldn't be introduced into lagoons or waterways, but only in quiet backwaters where they will generally take off (make a pleasant appearance). Lily pads are BIG BASS magnets, but I have hunch you already know that Roger Quote
islandfisherman Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Lillies are tubers and very easy to transplant.If it turns out you can plant them,all you have to do is stick them in the mud and they will grow and multiply every year.....Good Luck,Alan Quote

Super User burleytog Posted June 19, 2007 Author Super User Posted June 19, 2007 Mucho gracias amigo! Quote
abelfisher Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Burley, I too love lily pads! I might suggest you talk to your DNR about this. There could be problems bringing in a non native species. We see problems about this all the time. If they were meant to be there, they would be there. IMHO. Maybe being better safe than sorry....but that's just me Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted June 19, 2007 Super User Posted June 19, 2007 I have seen lilys grow in ponds that they were not before and no one brought um there guess how they got there hard to believe though...... muskrats i think they carry the tubers around when they migrate to ponds sorta like squirrels with acorns u get a nice oak tree when the oak trees are 300 yards away from your yard so it is kinda natural as long as the pads are a natural plant to your state Quote
