<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/div><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Lagarosiphon major is a submerged aquatic plant that originates from South Africa. The plant can grow up to 5 metres long and forms dense mats on the water surface. L. major is characterised by its dense, spirally arranged leaves, which are around 1 cm long and pointed. The plant rarely flowers and when it does, it is usually only on the water surface. The flowers are small and white, with the female flowers remaining on the plant and the male flowers drifting off at the surface. Reproduction is primarily vegetative, with individual plant parts breaking off to form new plants. It prefers stagnant and slow-flowing waters and is tolerant of changing environmental conditions, including different water temperatures and qualities. In Europe and other parts of the world where it has been introduced, it can spread rapidly and quickly forms large carpets on the water surface, competing with native aquatic plants and disturbing the ecological balance of water bodies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
