✂️ Care

Plant the tuber partly in your (nutrient) substrate. Damage the roots as little as possible and ensure at least 1/3 of the tuber protrudes above the substrate — this prevents the tuber from rotting. Once rooted, the plant will grow quite naturally towards the water surface.

💡 Planting tip

Plant solitarily as an eye-catcher in the middle or background. The broad leaves also provide shade and shelter for shy fish species.
