I grow plants in my Aquariums and have a high amount of lighting. 100 watts
of compact fluorescent over a 30 gallon tank and 150 over a 90. I lowered
the water level for the winter and stuck some Hyacinths and water lettuce in
the tanks. They both are growing way better than they did on my pond. They
are actually reproducing, that never happened in my pond. I live in
Minnesota Zone 4.

Has anyone tried to overwinter hyacinths? I've read to put them in a
shallow
bowl with aquatic planting soil on the bottom and lots of water so that
it's a
thin mud consistency. I would like to be able to save some of them since
they
can be a bit expensive to buy. Any comments appreciated. Thanks in advance
