Average 10 Strands (Weighted).

Other common names:

large-flowered waterweed

The most famous water plant, fast-growing, almost rampant, provide this plant with plenty of nutrients. The little green pointed leaves stand upright on a fleshy stalk. As the plant grows rapidly it will diffuse a lot of oxygen into the water. This plant is suitable for all kinds of aquariums, including cold water aquariums, ponds and is ideal for beginners. Regular pruning is required to keep the plant to size shape and form. Thanks to its rapid growth it is the perfect plant for dealing with algae. This stem plant is also a popular oxygenator for aquaria and garden ponds. As with most stem plants, propagation is not complicated. Simply cut off the top or side shoots and replant them. In aquaria it may be necessary to cut the plant back often due to the speed at which it spreads. Highly recommended for stabilising new setups.

What compliments it: This plant looks best towards the back of the tank. It can reflect well off of blue or clear backgrounds and can help more vibrant red and yellow plants stand out further
