I want to see this Giant Madagascar Lace

JAXON777

Here is a pic I took the other day not a great pic but... I have since cut off all the big leaves on the LACE b/c they are melting. It already has two new leaves and two "buds". It is a very cool plant. Keep in mind this tank is 31" high.

Very Nice that is a beautiful tank. Have been wanting to see some pics of the progress you are making. The angel's look happy.
Had a Madagascar lace in my 20G that seemed quite happy when I took it out is was about 30" long. Placed it in the 60 cube and had a complete melt. Roughly a month ago, today it has about 7 leaves and they are all the way to the top. Ours recovered quite quickly. You will love this plant they are stunning. The cube has no ferts, just goldfish and they don't bother it.

I was a little worried when I chopped it up but the way these plants grow I knew it will probably come back in a big way. FYI this tank is ECO substrate and no ferts. Thanks for the comments Coco. BTW does the LACE flower when the bud comes out of water b/c I already have one out of the water and another one on its way out.

Allright! I knew you were going to take good care of that lace plant!

Foolk, what we will be seeing here (with Jaxon's kind regular photo update of this thread of course) will be a battle of 2 giants - the Madagascar lace and the Sword plant. The Lace will shoot leaves up to 1/2 mile long in directions we never knew existed. The Sword will put out more and more leaves until it starts to resemble a monstrous cabbage like ball!

The Lace produces huge flowers. 2-3 at a time is not unusual. I actually gave the plant to you with one flower still on. Unless I didn't, my memory is set to just 5 sec. The flowers are about 6 inches long, and covered with black seeds with tiny white flowers over them. I actually kept 2 of these seeds, they fell off when I was stuffing the plant in the 18 wheeler truck to take it to you. My concern was that one of my dogs may ingest a seed and have beautiful Madagascar lace sprouting out of who knows where...

Don't forget the photo updates!

Heres a long overdue update. The thing got mega algae on the glass and I let it go nuts. Took two weekends to get it off the front and sides. (still havent got the back glass) I cant believe that the limno and cuba are growing. They are not colorful as my other tank but still growing. Hope you like as it will soon to be another re-scape.
