Arpita is very fond of flowers. She visited her grandfather’s house and collected a Water Lily plant for her garden. Arpita planted water lilies in her garden though her father told her that it will not survive on garden soil. The very next day she found out that the Water lily plant died. Why do you think the water lily plant died? Give a reason focusing on its features.

Lilies do best in a position of full sun, ideally with their roots in rich and fairly moist, yet free-draining soil or compost. Grow oriental lilies in acidic soil or ericaceous compost, and Asiatic lilies in neutral to alkaline soil or multi-purpose compost and not in gardens because most Garden soils are made from three main components: clay, sand and silt. The ideal soil (or loam) has equal amounts of all three, making a fertile soil that is free draining and easy to dig.Which are nothing but making the sand more rougher.So therefore those lillies will not grow in the garden soil and that is the reason why the lillies never grew
