      Sal,
      The water chestnut is often sold as a plant for tropical aqauariums.
      So I guess it would prefer warmer temps.

      Sirius yes it`s the same as the water chestnut but the water mosaic it`s more rare , the guy (one of the world leading in water plant) told me that need to be potted and not to use a fish tank as winter come the temperature need to drop at 18/20 c , at 24c the plant will decompose , untill summer is coming ... so evoid fish tank and grow them alone using plant food to support the growing ... looking forward to try
