Dark green leaves are arranged in whorls around a narrow stem. The plant will develop thickets in the back of aquariums or on the bottoms of ponds.

In hard water, for example it will sometimes be covered with calcium deposits. It is a good consumer of nitrate in the water and can grow rapidly to fill any niche. An outstanding oxygenator. Sold in bunches, a bunch consists of 6-8 lengths, 6-8 inches long with growing tips. Can be planted in the pond by putting it in with your waterlilies, lotus or bog plants. It can also be anchored with gravel or small stones in shallow water areas.
