Default water temp for plants

*muffin* wrote:
was told by pond place,, they won't guarantee plants till after june 1st,
PLUS water SHOULD be 70 degrees.
(now my hardy's in the big mud bottom pond are up ok, & its dang cold
there!)

do I need to worry about water temps for plants such as anacharis & water
hyacinths?
what about other bog plants? taro etc..
since I ordered some, already,, do I need to keep them in a tub indoors?



Hi,
If the plants are hardy you don't have to worry. But water
hyacinths are tropical and should be protected from frost.
If you're area has a frost warning you should bring the
tropical plants in over night, otherwise they should be okay.
