Characteristics:
This is a very popular plant, originally from Asia, which grows well under dim light. It grows attached to rocks or wood and should never be planted in the substrate or the roots will rot. Can be propagated separating the horizontal rhizome.
If the leaves turn black it means that a new plant is growing from sporangia. It can be separated and attached to wood or stones with dark thread.
This plant is a good alternative for aquariums where fish would eat plants as it has a bitter flavor.
