A distinctive plant - light-green leaves with transparent sections in the leaf margins. Most water lilies form floating leaves quickly, but Nuphar japonica can continue to form beautiful underwater leaves for many years. The leaves rarely acquire an algae coating, probably because they contain substances which prevent this. A nutritious bottom encourages growth. Often mistakenly called "Spatterdock". A beautiful and distinctive solitary plant for large aquariums. |
