Water: Waterweeds thrives in moist conditions, requiring weekly watering to maintain hydration balance. As an aquatic plant, it prefers high humidity and stable water levels. Optimal growth is supported by soft, slightly acidic water, reflecting its native aquatic habitat.
Propagation: The primary propagation method for waterweeds is through vegetative cuttings. Key success factors include sufficient light, warm water, and nutrient-rich substrate. Propagation involves selecting a healthy stem, cutting segments, removing lower leaves, and ensuring nodes are submerged. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain growth and ecosystem balance.
