Buckbean I like the article

Water BuckbeanTenere bagnato
Watering must be abundant and very regular, trying to keep the soil slightly humid; we suggest to avoid surpluses. Let's water it every 0-1 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water . These plants need a great quantity of dampness; they should be placed on shores, or sea beds, or small ponds. If grown in a large container, usually the water should be substituted every 15-20 days.

Light BuckbeanSole pieno
The Buckbean should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light. These plants aren't afraid of the cold weather and can be grwon in the garden throughout the whole year.Our water plants can't bear cold temperatures therefore we can move them inside the house, placing them in large containers.

Cultivation Buckbean
These plants are grown in water gardens. The Buckbean has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. This plant in the spring, summer, autumn, winter assumes a white colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 25 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.

Pests Buckbean
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Mold Buckbean
Aquatic plants need a heavy, scarcely drained, constantly humid soil.
