Planting Instructions

1. Seed Preparation

   • Soak the seeds: Immerse in warm water for 24-48 hours until they swell and begin to sprout.

2. Sowing

   • Fill a container with heavy clay soil or aquatic soil.

   • Place the germinated seeds on top of the soil and cover them lightly with a thin layer of soil.

   • Submerge the container in water so that the soil is about 2-4 inches underwater.

3. Germination

   • Keep the water temperature between 70-85°F (21-29°C).

   • Ensure the seeds receive full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily.

   • Germination typically occurs within 1-2 weeks.

4. Transplanting

   • Once seedlings have a few sets of leaves, transplant them into a permanent location in a pond or water garden.

   • Ensure the water depth is between 12-18 inches for optimal growth.

5. Care and Maintenance

   • Water levels: Maintain water levels to keep the plants submerged.

   • Prune: Remove dead or yellowing leaves to prevent decay in the water.

   • Winter care: In colder climates, move containers indoors or ensure the pond depth is adequate to prevent freezing.

Happy Gardening!
