How to Care and Propagate

Care Tips

  • Lighting: Low to moderate lighting is sufficient to maintain the health and vibrancy of its striking leaves.
  • Placement: Attach to rocks, driftwood, or plant in substrate, ensuring the rhizome remains above the surface to prevent rot.
  • Fertilizer: Occasional liquid fertilizer can enhance growth, but this hardy plant thrives even in low-tech setups.
  • Maintenance: Remove yellow or aging leaves regularly to keep the plant looking its best.

Propagation Steps

  1. Divide the Rhizome: Use a sharp, sterile tool to cut the rhizome into sections with 3–4 healthy leaves.
  2. Replant: Attach the sections to rocks or driftwood, or place them in substrate with the rhizome exposed.
  3. Grow: Position in your aquarium and allow the new plants to establish and flourish in their new environment.
