Other Flag: this listing arrived with no prior content, and "Elodea Naja" doesn't cleanly match a standard species name — it may be a naming mix of Elodea/Egeria and the unrelated genus Najas. Content written generically based on the Anacharis/Elodea growth habit; flagged for Henry to confirm the exact species via photo. Note: unlike most stem plants in this catalog, this plant is always grown fully submerged rather than harvested emersed, so the standard appearance-transition note doesn't apply — consistent with how Anacharis is handled.

Care & Planting: Plant stems into substrate or leave loose/floating — it will root readily either way. Propagates easily by cutting and replanting stem sections.
