{"product_id":"water-hyacinth","title":"Water Hyacinth","description":"Water Hyacinth bears leathery foliage that creeps across the surface of the pond. The foliage helps to provide shade and the roots provide filtration, a spawning area for the pond fish, and absorb excess nutrients from the water, helping to reduce algae. It also is an excellent water clarifier. The delicate, purple flowers have a yellow \"eye\" on one petal, last approximately one day, but bloom throughout the season, and add a pleasing splash of color to the pond. The flowers grow on 6-inch stems at the center of a rosette of glossy bulb-like leaves. These leaves will gather air in pockets and keep the plant afloat. Reaches height of 6-12\".\n\u003cp\u003e\nBecause the Water Hyacinth has a tropical nature, it will require heat and full sun to thrive and flower. Yellowish leaves are a sign of insufficient nutrients in the water; move plants with yellowing leaving to an alternate area and add plant food to their water, rotating with plants left in the pond. A vigorous reproducer, it can quickly take over the water garden. Remove excess plants to help prevent this from happening. Zones 9-11.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Purchase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\" to 8\"\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LiveAquaria","offers":[{"title":"Single: Floating Plant","offer_id":48508895953139,"sku":"11803","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dozen: Floating Plant","offer_id":48508895985907,"sku":"11281","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9497\/1635\/files\/lg11803WaterHyacinth.jpg?v=1771032870","url":"https:\/\/www.liveaquaria.com\/products\/water-hyacinth","provider":"LiveAquaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
