It floats on the surface and has no length to it's roots (maybe 1/4") - in
my case it doesn't last for more than a couple of days and rarely bother
with it anymore because of that. I used to put some in my Lotus pots to let
it multiply before throwing it in the pond by the handfull - that was the
only way I could keep it around - maybe it doesn't grow or multiply as fast
in our northern climate as compared to the southern US
Gale :~)

Ponds of the size I'm talking about don't usually have pumps or
filters....

180 YARDS x 50 YARDS x 25' deep.
