 of rich fertilizer, but aphids can be a problem.
If the plant becomes pot-bound, the crown tends to lift until it is raised out of the water. To counter this, the "chop and drop" technique can be used, whereby the crown is cut and planted in a new pot. Alternatively, the container can be placed deeper in the water. The general rule is the larger the pot, the larger and healthier the plant.
General maintenance includes weekly feeding throughout the season using 'feed bombs' and prompt removal of decaying leaves. The pot in which the plant is growing is kept submerged in water at all times.
