Cultivation
Prefers a larger tank with a deep, rich substrate and good light. It is easy to grow but will soon outgrow the average aquarium.
Can be divided, or in submerse plants, adventitious plantlets will form on the infloresence and can be divided and planted out.
Seed will be set in emerse plants, and can be planted out in shallow trays with sand and shallow warm water.
Prefers soft, rather acid water. Sub-tropical to tropical temperatures. It doesn't seem to thrive in hard water.
Will grow in and by the pond in warmer regions, but must be protected from frost.
