How to Care and Propagate
Care Tips
- Lighting: Low to moderate lighting ensures the speckled pattern remains vibrant and prevents algae growth.
- Placement: Attach to driftwood, rocks, or plant in substrate, ensuring the rhizome stays above the surface to avoid rot.
- Fertilizer: Occasional liquid fertilizer supports healthier growth, especially in low-tech setups.
- Maintenance: Trim yellowing or damaged leaves regularly to keep the plant healthy and visually appealing.
Propagation Steps
- Divide the Rhizome: Use a clean, sharp tool to cut the rhizome into sections with at least 2–3 healthy leaves.
- Replant: Attach the divided sections to hardscape or place them in substrate while keeping the rhizome exposed.
- Grow: Position the new plants in your aquarium and let them flourish in their new environment.
