Other Grown emersed, it also works well as a terrestrial or bog plant for ponds. Requires strong lighting to thrive.

Care & Planting: Remove from bunch wrap/foam, then plant into substrate. Propagate by cutting the stem and replanting cuttings.

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.
