Despite the best efforts of aphids of various kinds, the water lettuce,
reasonably sucessfully survived the winter. The water hyacinth clung on
too. We have had a couple of hottish days for the area, so I have
decided to transfer all the survivors outside to the pond.
Whether the expense and bother was worth it, is debatable, but it is doable.

Hi Guys,
I've been growing water lettuce and less successfully water hyacinth
this summer, and since its getting cold I decided to hell with most of
the advice on the internet I am going to try and overwinter some.
I have set up deep storage container half filled water, with a red/blue
led growlight in front of sunny patio door.
I wondered if anyone had any further advice, tales of success and failure.
