Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Best suited to low–medium light conditions to maintain color and compactness.
• Optional CO₂ supplementation deepens red tones and supports healthier growth.
• Use nutrient-rich substrate or root tabs for consistent development.
• Maintain stable parameters (22–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5); avoid sudden water changes.
• Trim old leaves at the base to encourage fresh rosette growth.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Plant the rosette just at substrate surface, spacing each plant 5–7 cm apart.
• Use tweezers for precise placement and gentle pressing of roots into substrate.
• Allow establishment. On maturity, divide rosette clusters or use runners to expand coverage.
• Combine with green carpets or taller stems to accentuate red coloring and add depth.
