How to Care and Propagate
Care Tips
- Lighting: Thrives in low to moderate lighting, which helps maintain its deep green color and prevents algae buildup.
- Placement: Attach to rocks, driftwood, or plant in substrate, ensuring the rhizome remains above the surface to prevent rot.
- Fertilizer: Occasional liquid fertilizer supports healthier growth but is not required for this hardy plant.
- Maintenance: Prune yellow or damaged leaves regularly to keep the plant vibrant 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.
