These plants are grown in water gardens. The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub. This plant in the spring, summer, autumn, winter assumes a green colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 10 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.
Light Pistia
The Pistia should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light. These plants are grown in apartment or in a temperated green house; they can be brought outdoors when the minimum temperatures are above 15° C.Our water plants can't bear cold temperatures therefore we can move them inside the house, placing them in large containers.
Water Pistia
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.
Pests Pistia
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 Pistia
Aquatic plants need a heavy, scarcely drained, constantly humid soil.
