Dear All

Is it true that this plant has a monstrous root system and it will slowly move from it's original place once the plant starts to grow. Is this plant suitable in a confine aquarium?

Thx

Yes it is true, I won't call it the monstrous root system, rather it is more like the ginger, it stores food in it's root system and as the root system develop the plant will seems to "move" along with the roots as the older part dies off. Very interesting plant. Mine die off after flowering. The flower looks nice, bright yellow color in the center.
