✂️ 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.
