Aquatic plants need plenty of sunlight to grow eg lotus, waterlily, water lalang, water orchid, water canna, water bamboo, etc. Lotus prefer to stay in calm water in order to flower and need to replace fresh water daily otherwise the leaf will not be healthy. Lotus prefer to grow in muddy or soggy condition. The new leaf come out frm the soil gradually and stay on the water surface before the stem elevate further away frm the water surface. The round leaf grows bigger and taller after a few days and you will find multiple stems in a pot.

Taking care of aquatic plants is more flexible
for watering compare soil base plant as long as there is excess water storing
on the pot but for soil base plant you need to water the plants at a right
timing as delay in watering will cause the plant suffer dehydration. But for
aquatic plant, water contain in the pot is enough for the plant consumption
between 2-3 days. Besides that, extra precaution need to be taken care of as it
provide a breeding ground for mosquitos to lay eggs. We suggest you to monitor
it from time to time, you can replace it with fresh water twice a week, or
apply abate powder once a month. If you don’t have enough time to replace fresh
water this is the ideal way to prevent the mosquito larvae from spreading.
Rearing miniature fish in the pot will also help to prevent it.
