Water Hyacinth
Eichhornia crassipes, a prolific floating plant better known as water hyacinth has long menaced canals, rivers and lakes throughout Thailand.
But now metre by metre thanks to ingenuity and hard work, the Thai people are winning back territory previously lost.
A single water hyacinth plant generates enough seeds to produce 3,000 offspring in just over a month a hectare of water hyacinth can double in just 8 days.
Over time it forms a mat of floating foliage dense enough for the people to walk across, blocking boats and fishing nets. It steals sunlight and oxygen, proving hazardous to aquatic plants and fish.
Harvesting the plants, villages dry them for a few days in the sun and when the stalks turn to a golden brown colour they are then ready for braiding.
Water hyacinth is a naturally green product and no harmful chemicals are used to process the plant, a great environmentally friendly material, which also generates income for the local farming families.

Maintenance & Cleaning:
1. Use the vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
2. Wash with mild soap and water, then dry.
3. Brush with nylon brush to remove dry food or mud etc.
4. A paint thinner can be used to remove tougher stains.
For major liquid spills, remove all upholstery, hose the water hyacinth furniture and place outside or in a drying room to dry. Please note that it is important that the furniture is dried and not remain wet or damp for any length of time as this will result in mould and subsequent deterioration of the water hyacinth furniture.
Water hyacinth is a natural untreated handmade product and will absorb moisture and dry out in direct relation to climate conditions. To avoid any deterioration it is recommended that the environment be dry and well ventilated.
Special Notes:
Chocolate and Charcoal coloured water hyacinth is a stained natural product and colours may vary. The Plantation Group accepts no responsibility for any colour variation or fading.
