🌡️ Temperature
Small pondweed can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by different combinations of water and heat. It performs best in warm summer climates when rainfall or watering is sufficient. Long stretches of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can increase the probability that Small pondweed will die. In winter, protecting the plant from cold can help improve its survival.
