✂️ Care

Plant the Schismatoglottis Prietoi in the foreground or midground, or attach it to driftwood with fishing line or aquarium glue. Never bury the rhizome — this prevents rotting. The plant grows slowly and requires little maintenance. CO₂ is not required. Liquid fertilizer such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.

💡 Planter tip

The compact form and bright green leaves make Schismatoglottis Prietoi an excellent choice for nano aquariums or as an accent next to Anubias or Bucephalandra on wood. Ideal for shrimp tanks due to its slow, steady growth.
