How to grow MONSTERA in your Fish Tank!- Riparium Plant Profile 

That’s great to hear!

I just bought mine at Home Depot. Came in a glass jar. About $19.00.

I do have these available on my Amazon store too under the Riparium Plant section. (affiliate link) www.amazon.com/shop/plantlifeproject

I had a similar experience with adansonii in a nano tank. It never did very well. It was getting plenty of light but it was likely not getting enough nutrients. There were too many other plants in the setup that it could not compete with. It is doing very well for me in a larger tank with more fish even though there are many other plants both aquatic and riparian also.

@@plantlifeproject Thank you!

They grow well both ways in my experience

I would be sure to grow them in a large enough tank if you’re worried about the roots crowding. But you can trim the roots to an extent. I would say about 1/3 of the roots could be trimmed but leave some that are growing down into the substrate. Personally, I’ve had problems with plants when I trimmed all of them multiple times.

I would cut back or pull off the mushy black roots, root rot tends to spread. It might take a week or two to start growing new white roots.

If it is new roots that are starting to rot it could be something missing in the water. I have soft well water and was having that trouble for a while until I upped the amount of gh booster I added to the water.

It’s not uncommon for the roots of new plants to die off and be replaced by new water adapted ones, but if the rot is spreading and affecting water quality then you may need to pull it out and try adapting it in a separate container (quarantine tank). Are you testing the water? The tank conditions may not be quite right (missing nutrients or minerals) you may try adding some epsom salts (magnesium, calcium) to the water. Sometimes it takes your own trial and error and multiple attempts to figure it out. It’s kind of like gardening In this way.

Two and a half months I had my cutting sitting a jar and nothing happened at all other than the root starting going mushy. I thought just for experiment I will put it in the aquarium and two days later fresh white roots have started sprouting. I think it may be saved :)

Great explanation, I hope one day to be able to replicate your advanced technique ✊
