Plant Specifications

Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Thrives under low to medium light, keeping a compact and tidy growth habit.
• CO₂ supplementation enhances bushiness and growth rate, though it performs well without it.
• Best grown in nutrient-rich substrate with moderate fertiliser dosing.
• Maintains healthy structure in stable temperatures between 22–28 °C and pH 6.0–7.5.
• Regular trimming of tops encourages branching and fullness.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Plant in groups of 3–6 stems spaced 3–4 cm apart using tweezers.
• Anchor stems gently into substrate to ensure stability and promote root zones.
• Trim tops at 4–6 nodes; use cuttings to expand midground coverage.
• Pair with darker-leaved background plants or bright foreground carpets for contrast.
