Other Fast grower — regular trimming keeps it in check. Also does well grown emersed or floating at the surface.

Care & Planting: Plant stems into substrate or simply let it float or trail along the surface — roots will develop readily either way.

A note on appearance: Many stem plants, including this one, are harvested in their above-water (emersed) form, and the photo may not reflect how it looks once fully adjusted to life underwater. Leaf shape and coloration commonly shift as the plant transitions to submersed growth — don't be surprised if new growth looks different from what arrived in your order. Give it a few weeks to acclimate before judging its final look.
