A
very slow growing plant which thrives under any conditions. This plant
may survive for several years allowing slow-growing algae to become established
on older leaves. If the algae problem is serious you can try dipping the
plant in bleach (1 part bleach to 20 parts water) for 2-3minutes. This
method will clear away most of the algae but avoid beaching the rhizome
and the roots. The best result is achieved by planting on a driftwood
or rock using fishing line. If planted on the substrate the rhizome must
not be covered otherwise it tends to rot. |
