Floating Plants

[Minnesota-koi]

I just ordered five floating water hyacinth and was wondering if there are any good tips that you ladies and gentlemen had for me to have these babies flourish in my pond/fountain.

I have mind with flourish!! Thats the name of the bottle plus it says something like "comprehensive" something!! Two time a week and they grow! But for your im not 100% cause i have just one type of plants in my pond!!

 

[Minnesota-koi]

Thanks. That is a good looking plant.

 

[angelvelez87]

Thanks!! The flower of my pond plant is super cool but it lasts just one day so it is a big show when it comes out

 

[Minnesota-koi]

Dang...how many times a year does it bloom?

 

[angelvelez87]

No more than 3 times for me!!

I just received my plants and now i feel like I'm killing them by placing them outside. Thanks Minnesota for your random super cold weather. Hopefully my plants make it through the next two days well mainly nights because that is when the cold rolls in. Then spring should actually show up with the warmth the plants need.

Here is a look at them

Yeah!! Cool plants!! And believe me that amount is good!! I had even less than that the first time and now i give some to the guy that gave them
to me as a gift!

 

[angelvelez87]

But yes im not sure how well will they do on cold weather!!

water lettuce, that surf grows like weeds in the warm weather, great shade producing plant with some lillys. You'll be trimming that stuff back before ya know it

I hope so.

[Minnesota-koi]
