The water snowflake is an aquatic plant native to Asia. It floats atop slow-moving bodies of water in a similar manner to water lilies, and ordinarily does not root in the soil below. During times of drought, however, if its body of water disappears, the water snowflake can put down roots to help it survive until the waters return.
Yellow floatingheart (*Nymphoides peltata*) is an aquatic plant that has spread throughout the Northern Hemisphere, and can be found in freshwater locations in a multitude of habitats. Despite its pretty flowers, this plant grows in dense mats and can be highly evasive, displacing native species. The plant is classified as a noxious weed in New Zealand, and is also listed as invasive in Sweden.
It is unusual in that it can be grown rooted or as a floating plant. It prefers a bright light and a tropical temperature range. It can be propagated from the runners that arise naturally or by dividing the rootstock. Although a perennial it is best replaced by new stock every 4 or 5 years. The rootstock should not be entirely buried in the substrate when planting.
