Hi all,

I was recently given this plant because a friend was moving city and
could not care for it any more. Can I have some advice on how to care
for it and what kind of plant it is? I'm a complete gardening newbie!

I have already trimmed off the dead leaves.

Photo is attached

Thanks.
Max.

Sitting in water it will die.

How do you know that? I don't recognise the plant, but it looks like it
could be a water marginal plant, in which case it should be tolerant of
waterloggging.
