Key Features & Benefits
- No superglue, no thread, and zero stress required to get a professional look.
- Pre-mounted onto a compact piece of natural driftwood, making it an ideal instant centerpiece for nano tanks or an easy detail accent for larger layouts.
- Tough, compact leaves naturally resist grazing from plant-nibbling fish and active dwarf shrimp.
Care & Planting Instructions
- Rinse the piece in clean water and place it directly wherever you want it in your aquarium.
- The plant is pre-secured into a hole in the wood using rockwool. Leave the rhizome exposed to the water column to ensure healthy, long-term circulation.
- Do not bury the wood or base in substrate where the horizontal stem (rhizome) will be covered, as restricting water flow around it will cause the plant to melt and rot.
- Avoid intense light and ensure good water flow to prevent spot algae on slow‑growing leaves.
- CO₂ is optional but improves growth and leaf density.
