Description
Its long-stalked medium-green leaves are spade-shaped and may grow to 12 inches (30 cm) in length.
Cultivation
This plant grows best when only partially submersed and when not crowded by other plants. It requires a lot of nutrients, a loose, iron-rich substrate, and moderate-to-strong light. It prefers a temperature range of 22-26 degrees C (72-79 degrees F). It can be propagated by dividing the rhizome.
