Most people float this Water Sprite in their aquarium because it's difficult to keep rooted sometimes. This plant will grow in just about any tank, but with a decent light and a little CO2 it will take over. It's an excellent source to absorb Nitrates from fish waste out of the water. It's also great for fry to hide in. It will propagate similar to Java Fern where it will send out baby Water Sprite from its leaves. You can either let it float or put the stem in the substrate and wait for baby plants to emerge from the leaves. You will have so much you won't know what to do with it all.
Please note; Often times this plant may have some browning leaves on it, we normally would remove these but they usually produce baby plants. So we like to leave them on so you get extra plants. You can remove the browning leaf and toss if you'd like.
