So they are planted in soil in a pot? You're lucky if they stay there. Give them time. You may find your preform full of cattails some day.

to start them out...leave them in the pot just make sure the pot is either leve or higher than the water level....once they really get going then you can lower the pot....like Esther said---just give them time...

I don't like cat-tails. The only ones I have is the verigated ones. I repotted them this spring and they are very slow growing. But they will grow.
