Plant Specifications

Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Needs medium to bright lighting for maximum red coloration—low light may retain green tones.
• CO₂ helps promote faster growth and more vibrant hues, though it's optional.
• Thrives in nutrient-rich substrate; regular fertiliser dosing (especially iron) enhances red pigmentation.
• Prefers stable water: 20–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5, with gentle water movement.
• Trim tops regularly (after 4–6 nodes) and replant cuttings to maintain dense, compact growth.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Plant in clusters of 3–6 stems about 3–4 cm apart using tweezers for precision.
• Anchor stems firmly to support upright form and continued leaf growth.
• Replant trimmed tops to create lush hedges and enhance color intensity.
• Use as a colorful contrast against green background or fine-leaf foreground plants.
