Goldie Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Ok Glen I am new with plants. It is only in the past couple of years that I have managed to get them to grow well. Here is what one book (published 1963) says about your Barclaya: Barclaya longifolia Wall. is an extremely decorative recent introduction. buy reason of its tropical rain-forest habitat it requires strict attention to the constancy of the water temperature. In addition the tank should be fairly tall as this is a large plant. Barclaya is subject to the attacks of snails, and the leaves and petioles are very brittle. Cultivationcoarse sand with plenty of loam, soft water, 25 - 28 C daylight (from above) or intensive artificial illumination. Proagation by seeds or cuttings. Having read this I would suggest just cut off and plant. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
