We get many requests from warm locations like South Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and so on that want to plant in winter months. Here are the plants that can ship to these warm locations, note though they wont grow rapidly as they will in late spring and summer even if very warm until the sun is high in the sky as that is the main signal to the plants to grow.","products":[{"product_id":"chiquita-punch-canna","title":"Chiquita Punch Canna","description":"\u003ch5\u003ePlant Description\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChiquita Punch Canna\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ Dwarf Orange Punch Canna, has pretty flowers in citrus shades of orange with a hint of lemon zest!

Fertilize once a month and always keep soil moist, watering is especially important during hot, dry spells.  In colder climates, lift bulbs after first frost and overwinter indoors in a cool, dry environment. Replant in the spring after all danger of frost has passed. When planting in terrestrial flower beds, space them 3 feet apart. (When planted in containers, they may be placed in the pond as a focal point, with only their roots in the water.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFertilize with \u003ca href=\"\u0026lt;li\u0026gt;%20\u0026lt;p%20style=%22text-align:%20justify;%22\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span%20style=%22font-size:%2014px;%22\u0026gt;%C2%A0Fill%20your%20no%20holes%20lotus%20pot%203\/4%20full%20of%20heavy%20loam%20soil%20or%20aquatic%20planting%20medium\u0026lt;\/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;%20\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;%20\u0026lt;li%20style=%22text-align:%20justify;%22\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span%20style=%22font-size:%2014px;%22\u0026gt;%C2%A0Dig%20a%20shallow%20trench%20across%20the%20top%20of%20the%20soil\u0026lt;\/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;%20\u0026lt;li%20style=%22text-align:%20justify;%22\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span%20style=%22font-size:%2014px;%22\u0026gt;%C2%A0Place%20your%20lotus%20tuber%20in%20the%20trench,%20being%20careful%20not%20to%20break%20or%20damage%20the%20growth%20tips,%20gently%20bring%20soil%20up%20around%20the%20lotus%20tuber%20being%20careful%20to%20keep%20the%20growth%20tips%20exposed\u0026lt;\/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;%20\u0026lt;li%20style=%22text-align:%20justify;%22\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span%20style=%22font-size:%2014px;%22\u0026gt;%C2%A0Gently%20add%202-3%22%20of%20water%20above%20the%20soil%20(the%20smaller%20the%20variety,%20the%20more%20shallow%20the%20water).%20If%20the%20water%20should%20become%20cloudy%20or%20have%20an%20oily%20sheen,%20gently%20pour%20out%20the%20water%20and%20gently%20add%20fresh%20water,%20being%20careful%20not%20to%20disturb%20the%20tuber\u0026lt;\/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;%20\u0026lt;li%20style=%22text-align:%20justify;%22\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span%20style=%22font-size:%2014px;%22\u0026gt;%C2%A0Place%20the%20lotus%20container%20in%20full%20sun,%20in%20a%20week%20or%20so%20you%20should%20have%20coin%20leaves%20on%20the%20surface%20of%20the%20water\u0026lt;\/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;%20\u0026lt;li%20style=%22text-align:%20justify;%22\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span%20style=%22font-size:%2014px;%22\u0026gt;Once%20you%20have%20aerial%20leaves%20(not%20coin%20leaves)%20growing%20out%20of%20the%20water,%20you%20may%20fertilize%20your%20lotus%20with%201\/2%20the%20recommended%20dosage%20of%20slow%20release%20fertilizer%20(we%20recommend%20and%20sell%20Landon's%20granular%20fertilizer)\u0026lt;\/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;%20\u0026lt;li%20style=%22text-align:%20justify;%22\u0026gt;\u0026lt;span%20style=%22font-size:%2014px;%22\u0026gt;Once%20your%20lotus%20is%20established,%20you%20can%20fertilize%20every%20three%20weeks%20during%20the%20growing\/blooming%20season%20with%20the%20regular%20dosage%20of%20fertilizer,%20for%20healthy%20plants%20and%20best%20bloom!\u0026lt;\/span\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/li\u0026gt;\" title=\"Marginals\"\u003eWaterlily World Fertilizer Tabs + Humates\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen you get your taro\/elephant ear you should replant in its new large pot however acclimate this for 3-4 days out of direct sunlight on the north side of your home in a calm tray of water letting the pot uptake the moisture it needs until it acclimates some new roots and then move that new larger pot into the pond around the 4th day moving if in direct sunlight to prevent wilting after acclimation. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pond Plants, Water Lilies, Pond Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36527607562,"sku":"White Lava Taro","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1725\/7713\/products\/White_Lava_Taro_Pond_Plant_Megastore.jpg?v=1579959198"},{"product_id":"landon-fertilizer-25-lb-bag-supersize","title":"Landon Fertilizer 25 lb bag","description":"\u003ch5\u003eLandon Fertilizer 25 lb bag (Supersize)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLandon Fertilizer\u003c\/strong\u003e, developed by hybridizer, Ken Landon, also Director of the International Waterlily Collection in San Angelo, Texas.

Pond snails, if used in the right numbers, is a great defense against bottom sludge and hair algae. You will rarely see trapdoor pond snails, as they stay on the bottom or on the stems and leaves of plants beneath the surface of the water. They do not have lungs like mystery snails, so they have no reason to surface to breathe.
