Nymphoides hydrophylla ‘Taiwan’ – Tropica

Nymphoides hydrophylla 'Taiwan' is a form originating from southern Taiwan, within a plant group occurring in Asia and Africa. It produces many underwater leaves with an intense light green, translucent appearance. The rosette can reach about 15–25 cm tall and 10–15 cm wide.

Fast growth needs thinning

The plant grows quickly, so its leaves need to be thinned. Remove older leaves and those extending to the surface to manage the planting. This allows the underwater rosette to remain the focus of the display rather than letting surface growth define the entire shape.

Nutrition and propagation

Nymphoides hydrophylla 'Taiwan' is relatively easy to maintain under varied conditions, but it needs plentiful nutrition for optimal development. New plants can form from the blades of older leaves, giving the species a propagation method distinct from simply taking a stem cutting.

Select the 1-2-Grow! (in vitro) or Pot presentation from the Option menu. Both formats refer to the same Taiwan form and its characteristic underwater foliage. Review the chosen option's availability, then plan for the width of the rosette and access for removing leaves as the plant grows.
