Soil Type

Water: Isolepis prefers consistently moist environments, thriving in high humidity. Weekly watering is essential for lush growth, as it is not drought-tolerant. Even in the off-season, regular hydration is crucial to maintain its evergreen foliage, whether grown aquatic or semi-aquatic.

Propagation: Isolepis propagation methods include seed sowing, cuttings, and division. Key factors are high humidity, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. To propagate by division, remove the plant, separate sections, replant in moist soil, and provide indirect light and even moisture until established.
