WATER
you can use virtually any type of water, preferably lime.
LAND
it fits the normal countryside ground, preferably clay. Organic soils are to be avoided, or prepared for vessels sold in bags or peat, which often are not tolerated, rot and unnecessarily clouding the water.
FERTILIZER
just use a good granular fertilizer complex, both chemical and organic mixture (as used for the garden or for the flowers), preferably a slow release, can be found in any shop of agricultural products or similar. As recommended dosage never exceed the amount of 200cc. per 30 liters of soil. Decrease the dosage if the land use is already fertile. The fertilizer must be placed on the bottom without mixing it with earth. If you use cow manure or other animal, must be perfectly ripe, however, not to exceed the dose of one part of manure and six parts of land. The manure packed in bags, it is better not to use, because most of the time is not ripe and can create an overgrowth of algae. Please note that too much fertilizer can kill the plants, it is usually better to be lacking than abound in fertilization.
CONTAINERS
the land can be put on the bottom of the tank or any side pockets. If you do not want to put the land in the tank for aesthetic reasons or otherwise, may be planted in containers or pots without holes of about 10, 20 liters (just a common plastic fruit box with a polyethylene sheet inside) . For plants that love the shallow water, just put the bricks under the container. It is good to add a few inches above the floor of sand for construction, to avoid the turbidity of water due to any fish or frogs, rocks or gravel are not recommended because they tend to wallow in the muddy ground.
LAYING A RESIDENCE
plants delivered in a container, can be sent throughout the year and it is enough to bury as ordinary garden plants. Plants in rizzoma, are sent only at certain times of the year, have no problems taking root, but must be well anchored to the land otherwise go back to the surface.
USEFUL INFORMATION
in the event of an outbreak of pests, you can treat the leaves with insecticidal pyrethrum, trying to shake off as little as possible if there are fish in the water; these products are fairly well tolerated when used in doses are not excessive.
Use half dose recommended on the package.
Make the anti-parasite treatment after sunset to avoid the risk of burn the leaves of the plant. Plants do not have problems taking root, provided it meets the standards of cultivation.
Failures are due to excessive fertilizer (which burns the roots), to cold running water, to tanks too shady, to the presence of ducks or similar, to nearly all species of turtles and shrimp, in rare cases but not improbable, because of insect pests, to fish other than goldfish (Carassio Dorato).
To eliminate mosquito larvae that will inevitably arise, simply enter the goldfish in the pond who are greedy, or gambusia.
Do not harm, but even useful to aquatic plants, water European snails and amphibians of all kinds.
The rustic Nympha and many marsh plants are not afraid of the cold and are not afraid to be formed on the surface of the lake a sheet of ice several inches too.
