How to Care and Propagate
Care Tips
- Lighting: Low to moderate lighting is best; too much light may encourage algae growth.
- Placement: Attach to rocks, driftwood, or plant in substrate with the rhizome above the substrate to prevent rot.
- Fertilizer: Occasional liquid fertilizer can enhance growth but is not essential.
- Maintenance: Regularly trim yellow or damaged leaves to maintain a healthy appearance.
Propagation Steps
- Divide the Rhizome: Use a sharp tool to cut the rhizome into sections with at least 3–4 healthy leaves.
- Replant: Attach the sections to hardscape or place them in substrate, keeping the rhizome exposed.
- Grow: Allow the new sections to establish and flourish in your aquarium.
