Better known as Canadian waterweed or pondweed, this aquatic plant has been around since 1836!

The leaves are bright green, translucent, about 15mm long and 1-4mm broad. It lives entirely underwater. In ideal conditions, it grows quickly and requires moderate lighting and water from 10-25C making it ideal for ponds in the summer.It looks a bit like Egeria densa and you can propagate by cuttings quite easily. Any excess plants you do not want, discard in your recycling bin.
