Cheato the type of spreading plant?

razvan22 · 04/17/2017, 11:24 PM

I've been trying unsuccessfully to get an answer here. I want to use chamber 1 of my biocube as a refugium so i can let the cheato grow as much as possible. Chamber1 has comunicating grills with the display. Is there any possibility it may spread into the display? Thank you

Absolutely it's possible. Chaeto is pretty easy to remove, so don't let that discourage you. Just be prepared for a little weeding.

Chaeto does not root, it just grows in mat's. If you get some in your display you can just pull it out.
