I have about a dozen of these plants, and can bring them to the next CCA meeting.

Are they easy to grow? Light requirements?

Heh. Well, I'm growing them so they can't be that hard!!!

I've been growing them under medium light, no CO2, but I do dose occasionally with Excel.

They are very easy to propagate (in fact, they'll do it without your help). When the leaves reach the surface or get separated from the parent plant, they'll send out roots of their own and pretty soon they'll be floating all over the tank.

The leaves are pretty delicate. they're tissue-thin, but that's some of their beauty. And if they get damaged, they're replaced pretty quickly.

These are a non-fussy cousin of the "banana plant."

If you need more specifics, Google is your friend.

Here's what happens when you let them take over....

 

[jonclark96]

I know google works. I'm just lazy and figured I trust you more than the net anyway.

I'll leave them to someone with a greener aquatic thumb. Thanks.

[chriscoli]

Damian should know....mine came from him!

No problem, Jon. I was feeling lazy and didn't post their requirements like I should have! C'mon, Jon.....you can't pass up on FREE.

Remember, I kill duckweed. Delicate plants and me don't mix well.

See you at the meeting. How will we contact each other at the meeting?

I'll be the chick with the short hair setting up the AV equipment.

She's the one that keeps the rest of us knuckleheads in line.
