- Fertilization Needs: Benefits from supplemental nutrients, especially if the water is very clean and lacks natural nutrients.
- Propagation Methods: Propagation is easy through division of the rhizome. Ensure each division has at least a couple of leaves.

Placement

- Attachment: Easily attaches to hardscape materials, offering a natural, rooted look without needing substrate.
- Spacing Requirements: Space plants according to aesthetic preference and to allow for growth and spread.
Compatibility
