Care tips
It requires full sun to partial shade and consistently moist soil, or even submerged in shallow water (up to 10 cm). Ensure the substrate is rich in organic matter for optimal growth. A common mistake is allowing the soil to dry out completely, which can be fatal for this moisture-loving plant.
