Nymphaea Almost Black

Acquired this one last late summer, and with big hopes, put it in a 100 gallon tub all by itself. Puny little thing clung to life no matter how I babied it.

Fertilized it, kept the worms off, prayed, no matter, it wanted to stay puny. So I figured to hell with it, I'll replace it in the spring.

It must have heard me and grew rhizome all winter, because starting late February it came on like a freight train. Prettiest thing.
I want you to tell me how, in fine detail_ and slowly.
