Cut stems at the base; you can replant trimmed tops.
Remove any decaying leaves to prevent water quality issues.

Submerged: Leaves are finer and more delicate, often with bright green coloration.
Emersed (grown above water): Leaves are broader and darker green; growth is faster in nutrient-rich conditions.

Can be a background plant in mid- to large-sized aquariums.

Yellowing leaves: Usually due to nutrient deficiency (iron, potassium, nitrogen).
