Watersoldier
Stratiotes aloïdes
A floating waterplant hat needs clean water. If the circumstances are
.good Watersoldier is capable to cover a big area in a short time.
It forms a micro environment wich attracts a lot of small wateranimals
between the roots and the leaves. Some birds build there nests between
the pricky leaves from the watersoldier.
A frogfish finds shelter between the sticky leaves of the
watersoldier. A watersoldier protects the small and defenceless
in youre pond.
Reproduction
The vegetative reproduction is the most important, merely done
by forming roots under water. But it also produces a
white flower

that disappear under water when the water is getting colder or after storms.
In deeper water watersoldier(more then 2,5meter) Watersoldier will remain
under water the whole year.
