My pond coverage is finally at 100% and I am really happy with the way it is looking, however I'm in Vermont and it's the end of the season and it is all going to die very soon.
I'd like to attempt once again to try to overwinter some of this inside but so far none of the lighting that I have attempted to use has been successful at overwintering these floating plants.
I'm also about $13,000 in debt and I don't really have the money to buy quality lights so I'm here trying to find out what is the cheapest way that everyone has successfully managed to overwinter floating plants inside over the winter. I'm not opposed to real redneck solutions like aluminium clamp droplights with floodlight bulbs in them, just the bulbs need to be under $15.
Note: I'm in Vermont and winter means greater than 6 months inside.
Plants in question are frogbit, red root floaters, salvinia.
