## Overview

The Madagascar Lace Plant (Aponogeton madagascariensis) is a rare aquatic bulb that flourishes in aquariums with temperatures between 65-72°F. Known for its delicate, lace-like leaves and potential to flower underwater, it demands high light and nutrient-rich conditions. Perfect as a mid-ground centerpiece in tanks 10 gallons and up, this plant offers a unique challenge and stunning payoff for dedicated aquarists seeking to stand out.

## Description

Aponogeton madagascariensis which is known as the Madagascar Lace Plant, is one of the most highly prized plants in the hobby. Its leaves are broad and long with a very delicate lace appearance. Under the right conditions, these plants will flower regularly in the aquarium. This plant is more demanding than most, but is well worth the extra effort. Plant the Madagascar Lace Plant singly in the mid-ground part of the aquarium as a focal point. Trim any dead tips on these plants, to inhibit the entire leaf from decaying. Do not allow algae or any other debris to settle on or within the leaves. Provide a high amount of light in the range of 3 to 5 watts per gallon, using full spectrum (5000-7000K) bulbs. Reproduction with this plant occurs through bulb separation, or formation of seeds after flowering. Allow the new plant to develop a root system and immature leaves prior to separating it from the mother plant. At that time, it can then be planted in a different location. The Madagascar Lace Plant benefits from regular additions of CO2, iron rich fertilizers, and trace elements. It is shipped in its bulb form and will not have fully developed leaves. Under the right conditions, the leaves will quickly take form. ...............Care Level: Difficult Lighting: High Placement: Mid-ground Water Conditions: 65-72F, KH 3-6, pH 6.0-7.0 Propagation: Bulbs, Seeds Max. Size: 2' 1"..

Review: Good replacement - i just wanted to say that the first bulb i had received smelled like mold and had already failed growing and once i had it in water it just physically grew mold so i was about to throw it away after i decided to request a replacement so i took it back and put it back in the water waiting for it to grow mold again so i could take a picture of it as proof it wasn't doing well so i didn't even complete my replacement request and they had already send another one a few days later and this one looked great and was growing nicely on it's own already so thank you desertcart for always coming back with a good replacement every time i had a problem with an order. So far i have great trust with desertcart. Keep it up.
Review: So much growth in just a week - Mine arrived as JUST the bulb. Not going to lie, I was a little bummed about that but I’m giving this 5 stars because it’s very healthy and so much fun to see it grow so quickly. In just two days it had two sprouts. In one week, it has like 4 leaves starting and you can see the “lace” like leaves this beautiful aquatic plant has. My tank runs 79-80 degrees so I knew I was taking a risk with this, but it’s doing great with my betta fish so far. This plant can get very large so I have plans to move it to another larger tank when that happens. Also buyers keep in mind this plant should not have its bulb buried. If you do that, you’ll risk rotting the plant.

### ⭐ Mold on it
*by J***Y on November 22, 2022*

When I oprned it and went to plant it in my tank I noticed what looked like mold. It wasnt a whole lot and it wiped off. However, despite doing everything I was supposed to, watching videos and everything to ensure this plant grows beautifully, it never grew. It was a complete dud. I should have gotten my money back but I wanted to give it time to see if it would actually grow. Kind of a double edged sword if you ask me, considering you can only request a refund in a certain amount of time but also have to wait for it to grow. Waste of money. Buy from your local aquarium shop.
