Temperatures Common water hyacinthSole pieno
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. These plants don't like cold temperatures, therefore in the spring it is best to place them outside only when temperatures are above 15°C.Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of sunlight.

Irrigation Common water hyacinthTenere bagnato
We suggest growing thees plants with constantly damp roots; usually they are used in water gardens, near small lakes or ponds. Watering should be done very regularly, so that the ground is kept slightly moist; let’s wet every 0-1 weeks using 1-2 buckets of water .

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.

Adversity Common water hyacinth
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.

Substrate Common water hyacinth
These plants are located near a small lake or a small watercourse, with a damp, quite heavy substratum.
