1. Morphology of Batujet Ficus

Batujet Ficus Monocotyledonous emergent plants, with aquatic plants and aquatic plants, the stems of aquatic plants are green or red, the leaves are firmly attached to the stems, with short petioles, thicker leaves, oval or elliptical, and old leaves are Green or dark green, the young leaves are yellow-green, the leaves are smooth and shiny, the veins are more prominent on the back of the leaves, the surface of the leaves has inconspicuous pearl-sized spots, the edges have fine folds, and the inflorescences are white fleshy spikes.

2. Habits of Batujeet pepper ficus

Batujeet pepper ficus is native to the virgin rainforest of West Kalimantan, and often grows near water sources or on wet rocks. It prefers weakly acidic soft water, the suitable temperature for growth is 22-28°C, the PH value of the water for growth is between 5.5-7.0, it likes sufficient light or bright light, and the growth is poor in dim light or strong light environment, and the suitable illuminance is 1500Lux, Sufficient carbon dioxide and nutrients are required for growth, which can speed up the growth rate of aquatic plants and shorten the hydration time. Insufficient carbon dioxide will lead to poor growth of aquatic plants. There are three forms: terrestrial, aquatic and semi-aquatic.

3. Cultivation of Batujet pepper ficus

The cultivation of Batujet pepper ficus is relatively easy. It does not require high water quality, but it needs a good growing environment. It is best to choose soft water with weak acidity. After planting, it needs sufficient light and a bright environment, and it will not be difficult to cultivate. Maintaining the balance of water quality, changes in water quality are not conducive to the growth of aquatic plants, and aquatic plants can be hydrated for about 20 days. During this period, aquatic plants will appear or even stagnate, and the growth rate will accelerate after complete hydration. Sufficient carbon dioxide should be added during the cultivation period, which can not only speed up the growth rate, but also shorten the hydration time.
