Default Water Hyacinths and greenhouses

I mentioned here before that I bought a small Greenhouse from Harbor Freight
this past summer. It's heated and the plants are thriving - including my
water-lettuce. :-))) I sprayed them for insects so no problems with that.
Now I'm looking forward to buying water hyacinths next spring and keeping
them over as well. I plan to put them in one of those 5 gallon plastic cat
litter shaped tubs I have, and keep the water aerated to help prevent root
rot. Has anyone tried to keep them over in a small, mostly sunny
greenhouse? They seldom make it in my sun-room.
