Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Thrives under low-to-medium light; strong lighting may introduce bronze or pink hues :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
• CO₂ is optional but supports fuller growth and coloration :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
• Prefers nutrient-rich substrates; root tabs help maintain health :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
• Stable conditions (22–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5) reduce melt risk; avoid disturbing once planted :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
• Rhizome growth forms a rosette; division of rhizome allows propagation :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Plant rhizome just above the substrate with roots buried—similar to Amazon sword placement :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
• Space plants ~5–8 cm apart to allow rosette expansion.
• Divide mature plants by splitting the rhizome during normal maintenance :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}.
• Pair with fine carpets or tall background stems to frame the lush green foliage.
