Cultivation Ottelia
The Ottelia is a water plant. These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Ottelia is medium in size and 30 cm in height; in the autumn it assumes a greenwhite colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year.

Light OtteliaPosizione mezza ombra
Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can take in the solar rays during the coolest hours of the day. These plants don't like excessively harsh temperatures, with night-time minimum temperatures below 0°C. during the spring in general they are grown in a covered place, moving them outdoors, or uncovering them, when there isn't any danger of sudden temperature drops.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.

Water OtteliaTenere bagnato
The Ottelia 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 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.

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