Fattonia in aquarium

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Not sure what you mean by "fattonia"; I'm assuming you mean fittonia, which if so, can indeed be grown emersed; though seeing as they are not aquatic to begin with, care must ensure to prevent complications. Long-term efforts to hydroponically propagate fittonia, in my experience, led to issues with rot and generally unstable plants that did not fare well when either left for further development in water or transplanted into soil. Might’ve been me doing something wrong, though.
I mean, they’re cheap and easy to grow; propagation certainly isn’t difficult, either; I don’t see much reason to not try your hand at growing them in an emersed setup.
I do apologise if you meant a completely different sort of plant; I’m no gardener by any means and have more often than not killed a plant due to sheer recklessness.
