It is one of the easiest red plant to keep in an freshwater aquarium. Its Latin name means "The plant with round leaves". Under water, it has lone and narrow leaves. This plant will grow towards to the light and will reach the top of aquarium. If allowed to breach surface, it will grow emersed leaves (as shown in the first picture) and flowers. So it is also a good plant for Wabi kusa or Paludardium.
To propagate is easy, just cut the stems and replant. If trimmed properly, it will become compact and bushy.
How to make it show red color?
1) Sufficient and strong light to get good coloration.
2) Avoid extreme water parameters ( avoid high alkalinity water or uncycled tanks)
3) Low nitrates (5ppm & below), while maintaining other parameters high. - the easiest way to keep nitrate level low in your tank is to keep changing water as frequently as you can, like 1-2 times a week.
4) Co2 injection will yield good coloration.
