Commonly found in lakes and ponds and sometimes brackish water throughout North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. A great addition to aquariums and ponds.
Trim ends and replant if you experience rapid or choking growth.Elodea grows quickly absorbing much carbon, hence its common description as an oxygenating plant. The thin leaves provide a nice contrast to other plants in the aquarium.
A single bunch supplied will have an average of 5 stems around 6-9" inches in size. A pack of five will consist of 5x bunches (20-25 stems). A pack of ten will consist of 10x bunches (40-50 stems).
