Cardamine lyrata is really a swamp plant, yet it is also a well-known aquarium plant which flourishes submerged in water.

A trademark trailing growth shape makes it highly decorative, and ''water roots'' frequently form on the plant itself.

Plant in groups, and ensure the water temperature does not surpass 28 degrees C. for long (this makes the leaves substantially smaller and the plant more leggy).
