Planting & care

Direct sowing. Lightly cover the seeds and maintain the humidity until germination is completed.

Needs soggy soils and temperate temperatures. Lives in humid zones, flood barriers, swamps or along riversides.

Among its properties, the leaves are used to cure liquid retention and to relieve enteritis. To cure enteritis, make a herbal tea out of 50g leaves for one litre boiling water, leave it infuse for about 20 minutes, filter and drink two or three very hot cups a day.
