Cardamine lyrata is actually a marsh plant. But it is also a familiar aquarium plant which thrives under water. A characteristic trailing growth form makes it highly decorative, and ''water roots'' often form on the plant itself. Plant in groups, and make sure the water temperature does not exceed 28 degrees C. for long (this makes the leaves much smaller and the plant more leggy).

Sparse	August 30, 2009
Reviewer: Hannah Anderson from Hermitage, TN United States

This plant arrived in good condition, but it was up in the air for a while. I am now starting to see new growth after a coupld weeks. The leaves are sparse, and the stems are delicate. I wouldn't recommend it to most people. Good for filling in tighter areas for contrast, but not on it's own.

Ordered a dozen different plants, 2 were DOA, 2 died shortly after, but the rest were all gorgeous and bigger/fuller than expected. Death may be due to 2 day shipping instead of overnight.
