- Use nutrient-rich substrate, with root tabs or liquid fertilizers to support growth.
- Maintain stable tank conditions—avoid sudden changes to prevent melting.
Planting & Propagation Recommendations
- Separate runners or cuttings into small clumps and plant ~2 cm apart using tweezers.
- Firmly press roots into substrate to promote strong anchorage.
- Trim runners after daughter plants establish to encourage thicker coverage.
- Combine with low carpeting plants for visual layering or use as low midground accents.
