Floating arum typically flourishes in wetland environments, favoring the shallow reaches of gentle waterways. This plant features distinctive foliage that, when mature and in suitable depths of 1-12 inches (2.5-30.5 cm), tends to rest atop the water surface. It develops through an underground rhizome system and takes time to establish a presence. The leaves are suited to environments of both full sunlight and partial shade and thrive in acidic, loamy substrates. Cultivation usually involves anchoring floating arum within substantial containers ranging from 2 to 5 gallons in size, often as an ornamental addition to water gardens.
