How to Care and Propagate
Care Tips
- Lighting: Requires low to moderate lighting to maintain its vibrant green color and prevent algae buildup.
- Placement: Attach to rocks, driftwood, or plant in substrate while keeping the rhizome above the surface to avoid rot.
- Fertilizer: Occasional liquid fertilizer enhances growth but is not essential for this hardy plant.
- Maintenance: Prune yellowing or damaged leaves as needed to keep the plant healthy and attractive.
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 above the surface.
- Grow: Position the new plants in your aquarium and allow them to thrive in their new environment.
