Notas de cuidado

Very easy plant, ideal for beginners. Low to moderate light, no CO2 required. Temperature 20-28°C, pH 6.0-7.5. A liquid fertilizer rich in potassium is recommended. Do not bury the rhizome. Can be used as background or attached to a central root. Compatible with all peaceful fish. Regular trimming of overly long leaves controls its height.
