We have two water hyacinths in our new pond and they seem to be doing
well. They have doubled in size and appear healthy but have not
bloomed yet. Will they propagate? If so, how?

If you're in the south, Water hyacinth will become a creeping monster. It's
super-agressive, and smothers huge lakes and waterways. If you decide to
remove it, put it on concrete until it turns brown. It's a very harmful
alien plant, and we wouldn't want to spread it.
