Things You’ll Need:
Direction:
Place the plant where it gets plenty of bright but indirect light for the most part of the day. Please do not keep the plant in too much shade or darkness, as it will fade its color. Also, avoid exposing the plant to harsh direct sun as it can burn the leaves.
Change the water every 5-7 days or earlier. Use lake, river, or RO water. If you are using tap water, let it sit overnight as it contains chlorine.
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to 1/4 strength, in every 3rd water change. Do not add more than 2-4 drops at once to the water. Also, avoid feeding the plant in winter.
When growing the plant in water, aerial roots form offshoots as they raise the plant’s energy to absorb more nutrients. Remove the thick brown outer covering of floating aerial roots while changing the water.
Make sure that no rotten or decaying foliage fall in the water in the vase.
You can keep this stunning plant on coffee tables, windowsills, or any other place of your liking in the house. Grow it in ornamental jars or vases and locate it on desks, dining tables, and tabletops for a gorgeous centerpiece.
You can also keep it in a mini propagation station or test tubes.
