Plant is strictly a floating plant, not rooted. Good plant in a starter tank as it is a very fast grower. After about the first month, you will probably want to get rid of it, however.

I bought a bunch of this plant on my last trip to the LFS and planted it in the gravel. 3 Days later, it's almost reached the surface of my high tech! This is the fastest growing plant I have ever known, maybe even as rampant as Algae. However, I am finding it useful for low-light tanks, as not many stems thrive in low-light conditions.
