Attractive seed heads may be left all winter if desired but best cleared if they fall into the water. Cut back foliage before spring growth starts.

9cm marginal plants require potting into a mesh basket.

1ltr marginal plants do not require repotting. However, plants over 60cm height growth will benefit from repotting into a larger mesh basket or should be planted in gravel to prevent them from falling over.

3ltr and 5ltr plants do not require repotting; there is no need to remove the mesh basket.
