Help! Paul and Paul if you are still watching, please advise me on this - how do I pot up my nicely growing water chestnuts? Six of the seven corms I had have grown now.
I have the impression from what I've seen that the roots need to grow out into the water in order for the plants to form new 'chestnuts'? So if I pot them in a pot with solid sides, will they manage this? I had a clay pot all ready with heavy rocks in the bottom to hold it down, and some good medium for pond growing, but stopped when it occurred to me that this may not work.
How about a basket, with the chestnuts just nestled down into the top layer of medium?
While we're at it, do the plants need full sun? Part of my pond gets a lot more sun than the top of the waterfall where I was going to put them.
