I am trying to save a few of my water hyacinths and water lettuce inside
my house in buckets of water. I am changing the water out each week,
pinching off any dead leaves/pieces and they're staying alive so far
although not seeming to grow any. Do they need anything special to winter
over inside...thanks!

I live in Zone 7A, North Carolina.

Sunlight is the best thing for them, rather than your growlight. Add some
Miracle Grow (or other plant fertilizer) to the bucket.



Thanks, Bill. Please see my other post... you seem to be right on the
money!


I was told to overwinter them with their roots in mud. 1 month in and
still looking healty.
