Temperatures Ottelia
We suggest locating this plant in a partially shady place, where it is exposed to direct sunlight during the coolest hours of the day. Let's grow the The Ottelia In a cold green house or in the house, as they fear frost; we can move them outside in late spring, with minimum temperatures above zero.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.

Irrigation Ottelia
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 suggest growing thees plants with constantly damp roots; usually they are used in water gardens, near small lakes or ponds.

Adversity Ottelia
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 Ottelia
These plants are located near a small lake or a small watercourse, with a damp, quite heavy substratum.
