Plant Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Requires full sun—at least 6 hours of direct light daily for best flowering.
💧 Water: Keep the crown submerged 6–18" below the water surface. Use clean, dechlorinated water.
🌱 Soil: Plant in heavy aquatic soil or clay loam. Avoid light potting soil, which may float.
🌡 Temperature: Thrives in water temps of 70–85°F (21–29°C). Not frost-tolerant—bring indoors or treat as an annual in colder zones.
🌿 Humidity: Ideal for humid environments and aquatic settings—no special humidity needs beyond a healthy water level.
🍽 Feeding: Fertilize monthly with aquatic plant tabs during the growing season to encourage steady blooming.
✂️ Pruning: Remove faded blooms and yellow leaves regularly to promote new growth and a clean look.
