The Four Leaf Clover has long narrow stems that are topped with two pairs of leaflets forming a four leaf clover! And, will form a carpet on the tank bottom if the right water and lighting conditions are met.

It can grow in several types of substrate from clay to sand, but substrate should be rich in nutrients to promote quicker growth. The Four Leaf Clover is an amphibious plant that can grow fully or partially submersed.

Propagation can be done in three ways, with adventitious shoots, seeds or by planting the runners which is the best way. Once the baby has reached about half the size of the adult plant, separate roots and plant the baby in another section of the tank.
