We suggest to position the The Cape pondweed in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day. If they can bear the cold weather the plants of the water garden can be left outdoors; or we can move them into large containers, and place them in a temperate spot.We suggest growing the The Cape pondweed in the garden; these are very rustic plants.

Cultivation Cape pondweed
These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Cape pondweed is medium in size and 25 cm in height; in the spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a white colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. The Cape pondweed is a water plant.

Fertilize Cape pondweed
We can fertilize aquatic plants using specific fertilizers to melt in the sheet of water near their location; There are slow release , granular or bar fertilizers, to be planted near our plants, with an action which lasts about 3-4 months.

Water Cape pondweedTenere bagnato
The Cape pondweed prefers a slightly humid soil, trying to water it often, avoiding to let it dry totally. Let's use 1-2 buckets of water every 0-1 weeks . We suggest growing thees plants with constantly damp roots; usually they are used in water gardens, near small lakes or ponds.

Pests Cape pondweed
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Mold Cape pondweed
These plants are located near a small lake or a small watercourse, with a damp, quite heavy substratum.
