Plant Specifications

Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Requires bright lighting and consistent CO₂ injection to maintain compact form and enhance coloration.
• Thrives in nutrient-rich substrate with a full dose of macro- and micronutrients.
• Keep water parameters stable: 22–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5, with gentle flow for optimal growth.
• Regularly trim stems at the top after 4–6 nodes to encourage side branching and bushier appearance.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Plant stems in clusters of 3–5, spaced about 3–4 cm apart, using tweezers for precision.
• Anchor each stem gently into the substrate for good root development.
• Cut and replant trimmed tips to propagate and increase midground lushness.
• Pair with fine-leafed carpets in the foreground and taller stem plants in the back to create layered depth.
