Compared with other aquatic plants, the root system of Heimufen is more special. When planting, it is necessary to plant it on a well-ventilated substrate, otherwise the plant will easily die because of the lack of oxygen and the root can not breathe. Usually, the binding method can be used to tie the plant to rocks or sunken wood to ensure that its roots can breathe normally.
In addition, if you want to plant the plant in the bottom sand, you can tie it to the volcanic stone, and then bury the bottom of the volcanic stone in the sand. It should be noted that the horizontal rhizome of the plant must be exposed to the sand surface to avoid affecting the normal breathing of the plant.
The growth rate of Heimu fern is relatively slow, and it can usually be propagated by rhizome ramets and lateral branches. The operation method of the rhizome division method is relatively simple, firstly, the transverse rhizome of the plant is divided into 2-4 sections, the old leaves on the rhizome can be removed, and the newly grown leaflets are left; then, the divided rhizomes are cleaned; and finally, the divided rhizomes are respectively planted into water vats which are prepared in advance.
Lateral branch method is also a commonly used method, but the probability of successful propagation is low. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly, selecting branches and leaves with vigorous growth, cutting off the branches and leaves together with the leaves, then placing the branches and leaves in a suitable water quality environment, giving a proper amount of soft illumination, and carrying out normal maintenance after the planted branch and leaves grow new root systems.
