from: £4.95 · scroll down to shop

Sagittaria platyphylla is slow growing but modest swamp plant. The submerged form which is used in the aquaria has up to 20 cm long strap-shaped leaves which are set in a rosette. In contrast to what is suggested by the slow growth rate, Sagittaria platyphylla usually benefits from a nutrient rich substrate in addition to high light. The plants prefer calcareously but acid to neutral water and form beautiful groups in the foreground. The emergent form can be grown in terraria where the leaves will become darker and much larger - up to 40 cm - and dependent on the length of day oval leaves occasionnaly develop. It is very suitable as the beginners plant.
