Re: [AGA-Member] Madgascar Lace bulb Blackening

[Ron Boyd <explodo2003@yahoo.com>]

I had problems with getting my madagascar lace to grow until I lowered my temperature.  It used to stay in the 82-87F (28-30C) range, and I lowered it to 77-79F (25-26C) and now it grows amazingly well.  It flowers about once a month and is about 2 feet (0.6 meters) tall with around 3 new leaves a week.  Nothing changed but the temperature.

I am keeping aquatic plants for 15 yrs+, I use filtered sunlight and rest 
the natural way, no hi-tech gadgets. Temp is never extreme, say between 
28~35C.
I live in Karachi , a port city at sea level, with summer and mild winters, 
lots of sun and reasonable humidity, very less rainfall.

Time and again, I tried lace plant, without success, as the bulb blackens 
and eventually rots, giving some leaves at times , what is the general 
experience in keeping this plant and any special recommendation, on 
substrate, filtration, water movement,Hydrogen peroxide, companion planting 
etc.
