When planting mudflower, choose an area with rich, fine-grained substrate to facilitate root growth. These plants thrive in bright, indirect light, with controlled water parameters, requiring stable pH and moderate hardness. Start by evenly spacing the mudflower cuttings or potted plants in the prepared substrate, covering roots gently while avoiding deep burial. Initial care should include consistent moisture, but avoid overly waterlogged conditions. While specific species in the genus may have unique requirements, overall, gentle handling and avoiding shade from larger plants will promote healthy growth in mudflower species.
