Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun
Rice-field water-nymph is native to habitats with abundant sunlight, such as the shallow margins of ponds and lakes. It prefers full sun, although it can tolerate partial sun.
🌡️ Temperature 20–37.8°C
Rice-field water-nymph comes from tropical regions, where the climate is generally warm and humid. As a result, it is well suited to high temperatures and humidity. It is sensitive to abrupt temperature changes and prefers a consistent temperature environment, so indoor temperature swings should be avoided. It normally does not tolerate cold and requires higher temperatures to grow. If the surrounding temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.
