Substrate
The
substrate is irrelevant, as it is a water column feeder. It is not a
heavy feeder, and can subsist if not fed additional ferts in a balanced
tank with fish.
Filtration/Circulation
It
does not require circulation – any more than keeping detritus off it
will blow it around the tank, making a mess, Keep it out of high-flow
areas unless you are sure you have it attached well.
Position in tank
It
will need to be tied initially, then will attach itself given the
opportunity. As it does need to be constrained, it has the capacity to
float around the tank, and will settle, attaching itself to the
substrate & continuing to grow. It is not difficult to remove (this
can be done with fingers), but can make the scape look messy, if not
constrained initially It has many uses, eg: walls, loose floating balls,
constrained clumps, floating balls created around ping-pong balls using
nets or cotton with ties to an anchor in the substrate, and of course
attached to driftwood by cotton or superglue. makemyhobby.com
Propagation
It
propagates itself by simply growing the clump larger. When it becomes
too large, pick up the unwanted portion, leaving the desired amount
behind, do not let the extra dry out, and it can be used elsewhere in
the scape, offered to another member of AL, or dry it out thoroughly
before placing in the compost. Never allow aquarium waste to enter the
waterways.
An easy and excellent beginner’s plant.
