Description
Nymphoides sp. 'Taiwan' is an unidentified Floating Heart species from southern Taiwan. It is also called Nymphoides sp. "Flipper" and "Flipper lotus". Whereas other species from the genus Nymphoides soon grow floating leaves, N. sp. 'Taiwan' keeps sprouting submersed leaves. These are of a bright green colour and somewhat transparent. The plant can quickly reach a height and width of 25 cm in the aquarium and grow to a maximum height of about 60 cm. It grows so fast that regular thinning of the leaves is necessary so that other plants are not shaded too much. When doing so, you remove the oldest leaves with the longest stalks. The plant reproduces by producing adventitious plants growing on the leaf stalk shortly under the leaf blade. For propagation, you simply cut off the leaves with the leaf stalk and let them float in the water.
Please be aware that the bunch/potted variation of this plant could contain snails and other invertebrates.

I love this product...lots of plants in the pot and they grow so fast and readily...they provide impact in the tank and as usual were delivered fast and well packaged.
plant arrived with the box open, the liquid substrate goes everywhere in the package. most of the leaves where black, plant have no roots. quality bad!
