Water Hyacinth Planting Instructions:

• Simply float the Water Hyacinth on the pond’s surface—no potting or planting required.

• Position in full sun to encourage blooming and healthy growth.

• Avoid placing near strong currents or waterfalls, as it prefers still or slow-moving water.

Maintenance Tips:

• Remove excess plants to prevent overcrowding and maintain balance in your pond.

• Discard any yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage new growth.

• Not winter-hardy in cold climates; remove from pond before first frost.
