Water: Originating from aquatic environments, pondweed prefers consistent moisture and shows high tolerance for water immersion. Weekly watering supports healthy growth. As an outdoor aquatic plant, pondweed adapts well to fluctuating water levels influenced by seasonal rains.

Propagation: Propagation of pondweed involves division or fragmentation. Key factors include adequate light, warm temperatures, and nutrient-rich aquatic soil. Handle gently to avoid damaging stems. Separate the rhizome with leaves and roots, plant in submerged soil, and maintain stable water conditions for new growth.
