Instead, use fishing line, cotton thread, or aquarium-safe plant glue to anchor it securely onto driftwood, lava rock, or decorative boulders. Over time, its natural root system will grip the surface independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2. Lighting and Algae Prevention\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of its miniature leaf structure and sluggish growth rate, 'Pangolino' is susceptible to algae if exposed to excessive light or nutrient imbalances. Position the plant in shaded areas of the aquarium—such as under the canopy of larger plants or beneath piece overhangs—or maintain a moderate lighting schedule of 6 to 8 hours daily to keep the leaves pristine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3.
