How to Care and Propagate
Care Tips
- Lighting: Low to moderate lighting helps maintain the vibrant white variegation while minimizing algae growth.
- Placement: Attach to driftwood, rocks, or plant in substrate, ensuring the rhizome remains above the surface to prevent rot.
- Fertilizer: Occasional liquid fertilizer enhances growth, especially for maintaining the vivid white coloration.
- Maintenance: Trim yellowing or damaged leaves regularly to keep the plant healthy and striking.
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 sections to hardscape or place them in substrate while keeping the rhizome exposed.
- Grow: Position the new plants in your aquarium and watch them flourish as they bring elegance to your tank.
