Planting & Growing Guide

When to Plant:

• Best Time: Spring to early summer when temperatures are consistently warm
• Germination Temperature: 75-85°F (24-29°C)

Seed Preparation (Scarification for Better Germination):

1. Gently file or nick the seed coat using a nail file or sandpaper to allow moisture penetration.
2. Soak the seeds in warm water (80°F/27°C) for 24-48 hours until they swell.
3. Change the water daily to prevent bacterial growth.

Sowing Instructions:

• Container Method (Recommended for Easy Care):
  1. Fill a shallow container with heavy clay-based aquatic soil (avoid potting mix).
  2. Press seeds lightly into the soil, covering them just enough so they don’t float.
  3. Slowly submerge the container in 6-12 inches of warm water.
  4. Keep the container in a warm, sunny location for best results.
• Direct Pond Planting:
  • Once seedlings develop 2-3 small leaves, carefully transplant them into a pond or water garden.
  • Ideal planting depth is 6-18 inches, ensuring leaves can reach the surface.

Germination & Growth:

• Germination Time: 7-15 days under optimal conditions
• First Leaves: Small floating pads appear before the main stem develops
• Transplanting: Move to a larger pond or aquatic container once plants are well-established

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Maintain clean, still water; avoid strong currents
• Fertilization: Use aquatic plant fertilizer tablets every 4-6 weeks during the growing season
• Pruning: Remove dead leaves and spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming
• Winter Care: In cooler climates, overwinter indoors in a warm water container

Blooming & Enjoyment:

• Flowering Period: Summer to early fall
• Flower Behavior: Blooms open in the morning and close in the afternoon
• Attracts: Bees, butterflies, and beneficial pollinators
