Fenestratarum Mulyadii: Overview, Maintenance Instructions, and Applications 

The Araceae family includes the rare Fenestratarum mulyadii water plant which grows naturally in Borneo. The plant named after its discoverer features exquisite fenestrated leaves that create an unusual and alluring appearance. Aquarium enthusiasts admire its beautiful uniqueness while this plant thrives best in tanks that replicate its natural environment.

Description: Looks: 

The plant features leaves with a delicate lace-like texture that extend in long thin forms and exhibit deep fenestrations (cuts or perforations).
The hue shows noticeable differences with changes in lighting and water conditions but generally appears as dark green with subtle luster.

Size: The plant suits midground and background uses because its leaves grow up to 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) tall.

Growth Habit: This plant grows through rhizomes which spread out slowly similar to the growth patterns of Bucephalandra and Anubias species.
This species naturally attaches itself to rocks or driftwood in its original environment.

Water Parameters Care Guide 

Temperature range: 72–81°F (22–27°C). 

pH range: 5.5–7.0, with slightly acidic water preferred. 

Hardness: Soft water (1–6 dGH) is ideal. 

Flow: A moderate to vigorous water flow performs optimally when creating artificial stream environments for this species.

Type of Lighting: I have found that submerged growth requires high lighting despite dim to moderate illumination being acceptable.

Effect: Excessive light exposure combined with a lack of carbon dioxide can cause algae to grow on its delicate leaves.

Placement and Substrate 

Substrate: The plant does not need a nutrient-rich substrate because it grows best when attached to hardscapes such as rocks or driftwood.

Placement: When placed in large aquariums this plant stands out as a decorative centerpiece or spotlight feature.

Fertilization and CO₂ 

CO₂: Although CO₂ supplementation is not necessary for plant survival it helps plants grow healthier and faster.

Fertilizers: Liquid fertilizers packed with iron and additional micronutrients offer several benefits.

Development and Upkeep 

Growth Rate: Its extremely slow growth needs patience from the caretaker.

Propagation: Slice the rhizome so that each fragment retains several leaves along with roots.

Tank Conditions: Prefers mature, steady aquariums with few turbulence. 

Possible Problems 

Delicate Nature: Fenestrated leaves become easily damaged when exposed to rough handling or energetic fish movements. Transplantation or unstable conditions create stress that makes leaves "melt" but new growth successfully adapts.

This plant's elaborate, fenestrated leaves make it an excellent focal point in aquascapes to emphasize specific tank areas.

Integration of Natural Hardscape: 

This aquatic plant should be attached to driftwood or pebbles to mimic its natural development on submerged surfaces.

Biotope Tanks: Native plants require authentic Southeast Asian biotope settings for proper display.

Shrimp and Nano Tanks: This species functions as an attractive feature in shrimp tanks because shrimp can consume the biofilm that develops on its leaves.

Contrasting Textures: The combination of this plant with foliage that features smooth or broad leaves creates an impressive and visually striking display.

Extra Advice 

During the planting process of Fenestratarum mulyadii you must handle the leaves carefully to prevent any damage.
Maintaining constant water conditions will stimulate sluggish growth and prevent algae outbreaks.

This plant requires sufficient light for growth which means you should avoid placing fast-growing plants near it to prevent shadowing.

Any aquarium becomes more visually appealing with the addition of the highly unique and scarce plant Fenestratarum mulyadii. The Fenestratarum mulyadii plant serves as a favored enhancement for experienced aquarists and aquascaping enthusiasts because of its elaborate visual appeal and unique exotic charm.
