How to Grow Anacaris

Anacaris is classified as one of the easiest types of aquatic plants to grow.The first way to grow them is to prefer a water temperature of 10 to 30 degrees Celsius. It also prefers a slightly acidic to slightly alkaline pH (pH pH) value of 6.0 to 8.0. Anacaris itself has a very high ability to adapt itself, but it is also susceptible to sudden changes in water quality and temperature, and as a result, there are periods in the spring and fall when it is more susceptible to pain, so be sure to take good care of it. The amount of light exposure is very important for growing anacharis. Anacaris grown in areas with high light levels will have dark green foliage. Conversely, an anacaris grown in a low-light area will have light green leaves.Gradually, as they age, the color of the leaves will change from green to black. If the black leaves are left in place, they will dissolve and adhere to the walls of the aquarium, making them difficult to remove.

Caring for Anacaris

As a way to care for Anacaris,Anacaris grows only in one direction, so if you are using it floating on the surface of the water, just tearing off the side that does not grow will provide some care, so please have it done frequently. If you are unsure of the timing, you should care for the anacaris when it reaches a certain length.For example, it is recommended that you set a guideline for yourself, such as "when it grows to 10 cm or more," so that you will have less hesitation in taking care of it. Anacaris grows at a rapid pace, and if left unattended, the difference between areas exposed to light and areas not exposed to light will occur in a short period of time, causing the color of the anacaris leaves to change and eventually leading to deterioration of the water quality.

How to Increase Anacaris

The easiest and most popular method of increasing anacaris is the method of plugging back. In the plugging method, the bottom of the knot in the center of the entire anacaris is cut off, and the top of the cut anacaris is planted in the bottom bed, where it will root and grow.It is important to note that anacharis that are too damaged or too short may not do well, so be sure to use anacharis with good leaf color and adequate length (10 cm or longer). Another way to increase the number of anacaris is to cut them at the dividing point, which will produce side shoots. Cut the divided part and divide the plant to make a single anacaris. If you cut the divided side shoots before they reach a certain length (5 cm or more), they may not get enough nutrients and may die.

Anacaris is often used for spawning goldfish and killifish.It is often used to spawn goldfish and killifish, but it is not suitable for those who keep it indoors or in other places where it does not receive much sunlight, as it prefers to be in sunlight. Anacaris is suitable for such places. Anacaris has larger leaves than other aquatic plants and is more resistant to leaf drop.This makes it suitable for egg-laying because the ground contact surface between the leaf and the egg is wide when the egg is placed on the leaf, and the leaf is less likely to fall off even if multiple eggs are placed on the same leaf.
