Its soft, feathery appearance brings plenty of texture and movement to an aquascape, especially when planted in groups to create a dense background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis aquatic stem plant is surprisingly adaptable despite its delicate appearance.

Spacing individual stems slightly apart during initial planting and maintaining adequate light penetration will keep lower leaves healthy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Why are the lower stems on my Mayaca Fluviatilis turning yellow?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMayaca Fluviatilis requires moderate-to-high lighting to maintain its lower foliage. If lower stems become shaded or lighting is insufficient, the bottom leaves will turn yellow and drop off. Increasing light intensity and spacing stems apart during planting prevents this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. How do I transition Mayaca Fluviatilis from emersed to submerged growth?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen transitioning from emersed to submerged growth, plant bare stems securely into rich substrate under moderate-to-high lighting and keep water parameters stable. As new growth adapts, the plant will shed its land leaves and sprout soft, needle-thin underwater foliage. Once new shoots develop, trim away old lower growth to encourage dense branching.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ACW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45220062003400,"sku":"UNP846T","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1167\/8568\/files\/mayaca-fluviatilis-uns-tissue-culture-1259672100.jpg?v=1790129230","url":"https:\/\/buceplant.com\/products\/mayaca-fluviatilis-uns-tissue-culture","provider":"Buce Plant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
