How to Care and Propagate

Care Tips

  • Lighting: Low to moderate lighting helps maintain healthy, vibrant leaves and prevents algae growth.
  • Placement: Attach to driftwood, rocks, or plant in substrate, ensuring the rhizome remains above the surface to avoid rot.
  • Fertilizer: Occasional liquid fertilizer supports growth but is not essential for this hardy plant.
  • Maintenance: Trim yellowing or damaged leaves regularly to keep the plant looking its best.

Propagation Steps

  1. Divide the Rhizome: Use a clean, sharp tool to cut the rhizome into sections with at least 2–3 healthy leaves.
  2. Replant: Attach the divided sections to hardscape or place them in substrate while keeping the rhizome exposed.
  3. Grow: Position the new plants in your aquarium and let them flourish, adding a graceful touch to your aquascape.
