Planting & Care
Attach the rhizome to rock or driftwood using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Do not bury the rhizome in the substrate, as this can cause it to rot. Its roots will gradually attach themselves to the hardscape.
Growth is naturally slow, making it a low-maintenance plant that requires relatively little trimming. Good water quality and consistent nutrients will help maintain healthy new growth and coloration.
