| "The plants I received looked gorgeous. Admittedly a few died and I blame myself for that because it’s the first time I’ve done a planted tank on my own. I was away for a bit and am not yet that familiar with cuttings, but Cass’ plants were vibrant when they reached me!"

Cassandra's Notes:
These varieties are a bit more high-maintenance than our usual fare. You may find you need brighter light and possible iron supplementation to really make these plants look their best. Co2 solves the algae problem that high lights and fertilization inevitably produce :)
I have grown each of these varieties in a myriad of low tech Walstad-style nano tanks. I noticed that, while trimming the various aforementioned bunches is normal and expected, the Lily bulb needed consistent pruning of the larger leaves to look its best. If you don't prune, the lily leaves will very quickly accumulate on the surface, blocking out all light. Definitely more advisable for larger tanks 10+ gallons! Bettas just love it though!
As I like to keep real ecosystems in my aquariums, there's always the possibility of harmless snail or dwarf shrimp hitchhikers!
