Chinese Water Chestnut (Seedling) 10/10

Kath's Edible Fruits
Update: 5623 days 2hrs

Comments: - I have them growing in three ninety litre bowls which they share with the tadpoles, frogs, water lilies, dragonflies,snails and leeches. Dwarf tree frogs love them. Harvest when the tops die down. Keep the pot topped up and provide an object for the young frogs to climb out on or they can drown.
