Hi Smokeater , i have never grown these from seed as such but have had plenty of tube stock to play with .

All mine are in an fish pond submerged for weeks then lifted and drained for a day or two to flush some fresh air through the pot then dropped back into the pond in the growing season .They are kept wet in the dormant period but the pond is regularly siphoned after heavy rain .

I haven't drowned one yet , but i have killed a few allowing them to dry out .

Good luck with yours . Cheers Alpineart
