“It is a beautiful plant that produces lovely long, slightly serrated leaves when it gets plenty of light. It needs plenty of light and nutrition. We even recommend to give it new soil now and again. It is a plant that is very hard to grow above water at the nursery and it often takes a long time before it is used to its new standing place. However, when successful it really is a gem!”
