Tropical Water Lily Utakata Parent Plant Large Seedling

This is the tropical water lily 'Utakata'.

This is a beautiful water lily with a contrast of white speckles on the entire petal, and a random pattern of dark purple stripes. It is characterized by excellent flowering even when grown in small containers.
The seedlings offered this time are from a parent plant that overwintered. This is a large plant.
Flower buds will start to appear soon.
We have decided to offer only one this season.

Images ①-③ show the parent plant's flowering last year. Images ④-⑥ show the plant for sale.
The plant has been dug up from the pot and rinsed in water, so it will be shipped as a bare-root plant.

This variety is easy to cultivate.
For winter management, heated conditions are recommended.

Normally, we ship via Nekoposu, but this time, due to the thick stem, we plan to ship via Yu-Packet Plus for safety.
The soil will be removed, old roots and leaves will be trimmed, and the plant will be wrapped in kitchen paper for moisture retention, then placed in a plastic bag and sent in an envelope.
Please understand and forgive any damage due to shipping or packaging.
The seedling may have soil, algae, medaka eggs, snails, etc. attached.
