    .. about 90-100cm long in my tanks , best thing is it throws runners so if you cut just below runner 'BOOM' you have another plant ! This is one tough plant that grows and grows, & can withstand multitudes of temps/ environments and one of very few all my fish leave alone ' Even the Oscar & Goldfish' 🌱😁👍

    just a heads up/keep an eye out: some off those kinds of pond plants actually don't root much if at all...they are made to float and float only. And if they rot all those leaves drop at once and smother. it's a horror if it happens. But since I don't remember the type where thats a problem, maybe heads up not needed. Like this tank! Enjoy the sneak peeks on member channel: do more of those if you can
