Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Requires bright lighting to maintain compact growth and prevent stretching.
• CO₂ dosing supports dense carpeting, faster spread, and overall vigor.
• Use nutrient-rich substrate plus regular liquid fertilizers for peak health.
• Maintain stable water: 22–28 °C, pH 5.5–7.0, gentle flow to minimize plant disturbance.
• Trim the carpet frequently to prevent upper leaf shading and encourage thick growth.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Plant individual stems or small clumps 1–2 cm apart using precision tweezers.
• Press roots into substrate gently to secure each plant.
• After establishment, trim runners and replant side shoots to enhance coverage.
• Perfect for foreground mats, Iwagumi layouts, or as a green “lawn” in shrimp tanks.
