My water canna is in a North facing window and I haven't fertilized it at all. I did dose it with Muriate of Potash once, then I decided to let it rest over the Winter. -- Bonnie NJ |

I agree with Bonnie, I think they need a rest. Quit feeding and trim off
the taller stalks to just a main leaf or two. This will cause new stalks to start. This year I left mine in the garage, low light, little water. They have just enough green starts on them to let me know they are alive, and that's all I need to know. It's been great not caring for them. ~ jan John Rutz wrote: the Canna plants in the indoor pond did great but now are all dieing i have been fertilizing with miracle gro (teaspoon) every month same amoutn of lite and water but all are failing any ideas as to how to keep em going till spring?

A lot of people have the same problem, I can usually get mine till Febuary
and then they die on me. I hae found that putting an airstone in a tub of water and then putting the plant in works, and I through a guppy or three in to help, the plants do need a rest, I would stop the fertilizer but keep up the light. It is a big change to have lots of fertile water and warm water and the outsdie conditions to come indoors. You cannot really duplicate that.
