Barclaya longifolia is a beautiful and distinctive solitary plant which grows to a height of 30-80cm and a width of 20-50cm, it is available in green varieties with light-green leaves and pink underneath (or in dark-red). It flowers well in aquariums – even under water if the aquarium is so tall that the flower cannot reach the water surface. Dormant periods sometimes occur when the leaves disappear but the plant starts forming new leaves a few months later. The dormant period can often be broken by moving the plant.
