Plant Specifications

Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Thrives under medium lighting; too low light may slow growth.
• CO₂ improves faster spread and stronger growth but is not required.
• Prefers nutrient-rich substrate with regular dosing of iron and macronutrients.
• Maintain stable water conditions: 22–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5.
• Frequent trimming encourages bushier growth for fuller coverage.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Plant stems in small clusters of 3–4, spacing 2–3 cm apart for full coverage.
• Use tweezers to press roots securely into substrate.
• Trim tops just above a leaf pair; replant cuttings to expand midground areas.
• Combine with low carpets or taller background stems to create layered depth.
