✂️ Care

Plant the rhizome in the background or let the plant float freely — if the plant has few or no roots yet, it will form them naturally later. The stems grow up to the water surface, where the leaves spread out. Thin out occasionally so that enough light reaches the underlying plants.

💡 Planter's tip

Let the plant float for a natural, shading effect on the water surface, or plant rooted in the background for a classic water lily look.
