How do I grow Bucephalandra emersed? Peat moss for moisture attached to lava rock?
I got a " Bucephalandra red mini" in the mail, it has leave and everything.
I am thinking of growing it emersed(out of water) in order to get faster growth then taking small clippings and putting it around my aquarium
My question is how do I grow it emersed without rotting the root or drying out the leaves?
I was thinking of using a rubber band to attach it to a lava rock to keep the Rhizome out of the dirt then mixed potting soil with peat moss to keep the soil moist and maybe have it in a bowl to keep it humid? I'm not sure if the peat moss would mail the soil too acid for this plant.
What do you think? Does anyone have any information of growing Bucephalandra (red mini) emersed?
Thanks.
