Attach it to wood or rock, or place the roots lightly in substrate without covering the rhizome. A buried rhizome may receive poor circulation and rot.

Place it on hardscape in the foreground, middle or background according to the variety’s mature size. Avoid very harsh flow against delicate leaves.

It can usually grow without added CO₂, although stable CO₂ and balanced nutrition may improve growth. Moderate lighting often reduces algae on slow-growing leaves.

Once the rhizome has grown, divide it with a clean tool. Each section should retain roots and several healthy leaves before being attached elsewhere.
