Caryl Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 It will last for a while then rot and die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 Give it a go. People tend to be impatient and think the plant is rotting. Just wait... After a while if you dig it up you will see new roots forming. They are fine and white. Then the plant will start to grow new leaves. It is slow-growing, but is a beautiful addition to the aquarium. I have a whole lot of the green one in my tank. Extra nutients also help it along. If you are unsure, just put it in a bucket of water outside with a couple of handfuls of Dalton's Aquatic Mix. The leaves will start rotting and will then grow back after time, along with new roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
