The leaves on this plant are usually dark green and some display a subtle veiny texture. As with most other types of water trumpets, propagation is via runners. New shoots burst through the substate just a few centimetres away from the parent plant. If you want to suppress this spread, it is sufficient to simply remove any new shoots with sharp scissors.
