I don't know why you can't get them to grow with Miracle grow. The
water hyacinth is such a pig it will eat anything. One thing you
might try is put some garden dirt in the bottom of a large pot/bucket
and float them above the dirt. They are pigs in a plant world and
will find the mud.

I just might do that. Tx, ~ jan
