Description
editIts long-stalked medium-green leaves are spear-shaped and may grow to about 40 cm in length. It grows in muddy areas near, or in streams, sometimes even completely submerged.[5]
Cultivation
editThis plant grows best when only partially submersed and when not crowded by other plants. It requires a lot of nutrients, a loose, iron-rich substrate, and moderate-to-strong light. It prefers a temperature range of 22-26 degrees C (72-79 degrees F). It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome or by its seed.[6]
