SCHISMATOGLOTTIS PRIETOI rooted and potted
Schismatoglottis prietoi A rare aquatic aroid native to the Philippines, Schismatoglottis prietoi is one of the few species in its genus that can live fully submerged. It forms lush, low-growing clusters of glossy green leaves, making it perfect for foreground or midground placement in aquariums and paludariums. Care: Lighting: Low to medium; avoid intense light. Temperature: 68–82°F (20–28°C). pH: 6.0–8.0; soft to moderately hard water. CO₂: Not required but promotes faster growth. Substrate: Sand, gravel, or aquasoil. Keep rhizome above substrate to prevent rot. Flow: Gentle to moderate water movement preferred. Propagation: By division or runners. Fertilizer: Benefits from light liquid or root feeding. Tips: Allow time to acclimate—growth starts slow but becomes steady once established. Great for nano tanks or natural aquascapes. Works well alongside Anubias, Bucephalandra, and Cryptocoryne species
