Planting Instructions

1. Seed Preparation:

   • Soak seeds in warm water for 24-48 hours until they swell.
   • Remove any floating seeds, as they may be infertile.

2. Sowing:

   • Fill a shallow container with heavy loam soil or aquatic planting media.
   • Gently press seeds into the top ¼ inch of soil, spacing them 1-2 inches apart.
   • Cover with a thin layer of sand or gravel to prevent floating.

3. Germination:

   • Place the container in warm, shallow water (70-80°F or 21-27°C).
   • Provide bright, indirect sunlight.
   • Germination occurs in 2-6 weeks.

4. Transplanting:

   • Once seedlings produce 2-3 leaves, carefully transplant them into deeper water (12-24 inches deep).
   • Space plants 3-6 feet apart, ensuring they receive full sun.

Care and Maintenance

• Water Depth: Maintain 12-24 inches of water above the soil for proper growth.
• Fertilizing: Use slow-release aquatic plant fertilizer during the growing season.
• Pruning: Remove yellowing leaves and spent flowers to promote new blooms.
• Winter Care: Hardy varieties survive winter if placed in deep water, while tropical varieties should be moved indoors.
• Pest Control: Monitor for aphids and snails; introduce natural predators or use organic treatments if necessary.

Best Uses

• Ponds and backyard water gardens
• Decorative containers for patios and balconies
