Madagascar Lace
Madagascar Lace is a great plant for those bigger tanks as its leaves can get rather large. As it grows its new leaves are a light green color and are perforated hence the lace name. If you give this plant the right conditions it will grow very fast. Don’t bury the bulb all the way when planting. Sometimes the plant will go into a dormant stage where the leaves will die off for a few months, as long as the bulb is solid it will come back.

Grew quickly in my 55-gallon tank with medium lighting. The leaves are beautiful with a lace-like pattern. It went dormant for a few months, but the bulb stayed healthy and came back strong.
Alexander Davies –
Easy to care for and grows fast. I noticed the leaves turning light green and developing perforations as expected. It’s a good choice for larger tanks with moderate light.
Joe Harris –
The plant has been thriving for over six months. I didn’t need to add CO2 or extra nutrients. It went dormant in winter, and the bulb revived perfectly when the water temperature warmed up.
