    Product FAQs

    Helpful details before you buy.

    What makes Fluitans different from other cordifolius?

    Its wavy, light-green leaves are less likely to emerge above the water than other cordifolius forms. Large leaves can develop just below the surface.

    Does it need CO2?

    No β€” grows without CO2. Root tabs near the roots support the best growth.

    Will the upper leaves shade other plants?

    Large upper leaves can shade smaller plants. Trim older leaves if needed, but a floating surface canopy is not the defining habit of this cultivar.

    How large does it get?

    It can form a substantial rosette with long leaves. Leave vertical and sideways space rather than planning for a free-floating plant.

    How do I propagate it?

    Daughter plants on flower stems β€” detach once they have 3–4 leaves and visible roots.
