Barclaya
Longifolia is
a spectacular long leaved plant with a
stunning reddish brown colour that
will set off the centre
of your aquarium
beautifully. It will generate small
plantlets that will grow from the main
plant and they will thrive when
removed. This does need added iron
to maintain good health but this is
easily provided through the use of
aquarium additives
available form
your local pet
store.
Barclaya Longifolia also
sometimes has dormant periods when the leaves
will die off but the plant does start to grow
and form new leaves a few months later.
You can speed up this process by moving the
plant but I always feel that the plant does
this for a reason and would probably suffer if
forced.
