Propagation: Propagation of hydatella involves seed sowing in moist, well-draining soil under bright, indirect light at 18-22°C (64-72°F). The process is moderately difficult due to seed dormancy. Collect seeds, sow in a soil-less medium, and transplant seedlings when stable, requiring patience and careful attention.
