Quarantine and rinse the live plant before adding it to an established freshwater aquarium. Attach the rhizome to wood or stone and avoid burying it beneath substrate, then provide stable water conditions and low to moderate light. Use a suitable liquid fertilizer when needed. Because slow-growing leaves can collect algae under strong lighting, monitor the plant and adjust care gradually. Live plants naturally vary in size, leaf count and appearance.
