June 6: I bought 4 small plants and tossed them into the pond.
18: Floated overnight in fertilizer solution.
September 26: In August the plants were small and very pale.
I speculate that is is due to too much sunlight and competition for nutrients
from the other plants in the pond,
so I moved them to a tub of weak fertilizer solution and put it in the shade.
Now they have a slightly better colour, but they are still small.
I moved them today into the indoor aquarium where I will try to overwinter them.
