How to Care and Propagate
Care Tips
- Lighting: Low to moderate lighting helps prevent algae growth on leaves.
- Placement: Attach to driftwood, rocks, or plant in substrate with the rhizome above to avoid rot.
- Fertilizer: Occasional liquid fertilizer can encourage healthier growth but isn’t essential.
- Maintenance: Trim yellow or damaged leaves regularly to keep the plant looking vibrant.
Propagation Steps
- Divide the Rhizome: Carefully cut the rhizome into sections with 2–3 leaves using a sharp tool.
