I work at a sportspark that consist of 4 baseball fields, with 4 small buildings. Problem.every spring is wasps, and in the fall, yellow jackets appear. I am going to plant 10 baby plants may 4th. Will put at least 4 in the covered concession area. Looking for it's repellent properties for mosquitos as well. I am hoping this works.

You didn't show what they looked like before they went in to the water. I just bought a bunch at my local asian market. There are no visible roots and I'm afraid they might have trimmed them too much. I pulled the outermost leaf off and put them in water and hoping for the best.
