FAQ
Can I grow Yellow Ivy in a fully submerged setup?
No, Yellow Ivy requires the crown and foliage to remain above the waterline. It is best suited for emersed or marginal setups where roots are in water or moist soil and the leaves grow above the water.
Does this plant need CO₂ injection?
Injected CO₂ is not required for foliage growth in air. The plant thrives with natural lighting and does not depend on CO₂ supplementation.
How should I acclimate the plant to a new tank?
Place the plant in a location with bright indirect light above the waterline. Gradually increase light intensity over several days to avoid stress or leaf burn.

The Yellow Ivy has grown well in my tank with minimal care. I keep the roots in a moist soil mix and the leaves above water. It thrives under indirect light and doesn’t need CO₂. Very easy to maintain and adds a nice green touch to the setup.

I bought this plant for my marginal tank and it has done well. The leaves grow steadily and stay healthy. I didn’t need to add CO₂, which was a relief. Just make sure to keep the crown above water and provide indirect light.

Great plant for beginners. It’s easy to set up and doesn’t require special equipment. I placed it in a corner with moist soil and bright indirect light. The foliage has grown nicely and looks natural in the tank.
