Care Tips: Dipteracanthus elastica is a hardy, adaptable plant that is often mistaken for a true aquatic species but is more accurately described as a semi-aquatic or terrarium plant. It can survive submerged for a time but thrives best in paludarium or emersed setups. It has thick, rubbery leaves and a creeping growth habit. Ideal for shaded areas in aquariums or for adding greenery to moist terrarium environments. Not recommended for long-term submersion.
