Brasenia, a genus of aquatic plants, requires moderate sunlight, warm temperatures and rich, loamy yet well-draining soil for optimal growth. A proper balance between submerged roots and floating leaves is crucial. The primary care challenges include preventing excessive algae formation and ensuring freedom from pests like aphids and diseases like crown rot. Seasonally, brasenia demands more water in summer to counter evaporation, while in winter, it requires protection from frost and freezing conditions. Avoid over-saturating in spring and autumn to maintain plant health.
