It grows slowly and the leaves survive for several years, this gives slow-growing algae the chance to become established. The best result can be achieved by planting on a stone or tree root. Fishing line can be used to attach the plant while it becomes rooted. If it is planted in the bottom the rhizome must not be covered because it has a tendency to rot.
