Plant Specifications

Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Prefers moderate lighting; too low light can result in elongated, weak stems.
• CO₂ is optional—though a moderate boost will enhance growth and density.
• Plant in a substrate that holds nutrients, and dose regularly with general fertiliser.
• Maintain stable conditions: 22–28 °C, pH 6–7.5.
• Trimming dead or long runners helps maintain a neat, uniform look.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Separate into small clusters (3–4 stems) and plant about 2–3 cm apart.
• Press roots firmly into the substrate to ensure anchoring.
• Trim off older growth or flowering stems; younger stems will sprout in their place.
• Combine with fine-groundcover plants to enhance contrast and movement.
