| From Tropica: |
Cardamine lyrata is actually a marsh plant. But it
is also a familiar aquarium plant which thrives under water. A characteristic
trailing growth form makes it highly decorative, and ''water roots''
often form on the plant itself. Plant in groups, and make sure the
water temperature does not exceed 28 degrees for long (this makes
the leaves much smaller and the plant more leggy). Also suitable
in garden ponds in the summer. |
