As a pond plant I grow them in small rubber feed pans to restrict their
spread. Plant them in a heavy clay loam with a dash of fertilizer added
and then cover with sand and then pea gravel. Since these plants are
heavy feeders they should be repotted every spring.
Most species will do well with their containers set in the shallow areas
of the pond with the crown of the plants under a few inches of water or
at least with its feet wet. The Floating Burreed- S. fluctuans grows in
deeper water and should be positioned accordingly.
