I grew it for a couple years, but I wouldn't say it was with great
success. I propogated it, but I suppose I could have done better if I
found a use for the plants.
The plants I started with were grown emersed and it took them a couple
months to start growing submersed -- probably the second slowest start-up
I've seen. When they did start growing they grew slowly. I gave them
bright light, but probably not enough fertilizer to suit them.
I eventually threw the plants away. One of the Dutch-style tanks in the
showcase contains a very nice display of L. nummularia "aurea". It was
enough to make me rethink tossing the plants.
