How to Care and Propagate
Care Tips
- Lighting: Requires low to moderate lighting to maintain its vibrant golden-green color and prevent algae buildup.
- Placement: Attach to driftwood, rocks, or plant in substrate, ensuring the rhizome remains 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 to maintain the plant's vibrant appearance and health.
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 flourish in their new environment.
