Black Ripple Taro is a shallow water plant which is ideal for an aquatic container garden or pond. We plant these starter plugs in a 10 inch plastic pot,  with heavy top soil or Aquatic Planting Media. Plants are grown with 2 to 6 inches of water above the pot. Fertilizer every 3 to 4 week with Pondtabbs. Black Ripple may be grown in full sun or partial shade. As it matures, it produces wonderful textured or puckered leaves!
