Victoria regia

The Amazon water lily is native to habitats with plenty of sunlight, such as the shallow margins of ponds and lakes. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.

The Amazon water lily comes from tropical areas, where the climate is generally warm and humid. As a result, it is well suited to high temperatures and humidity. It is sensitive to abrupt temperature changes and prefers a steady thermal environment, so indoor temperature fluctuations should be avoided. It usually cannot tolerate cold conditions and needs higher temperatures to grow; if the ambient temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.
