Plant Specifications

Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Needs strong lighting and CO₂ to express its narrow foliage shape and reddish coloration.
• Thrives in nutrient-rich substrate with regular macronutrient and iron dosing.
• Prefers stable water conditions: 22–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5; gentle circulation enhances movement.
• Frequent trimming after 4–6 nodes promotes bushy, compact growth.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Plant in small groups of 3–5 stems, spaced 3–4 cm apart using tweezers.
• Anchor stems deeply to support strong root development and stability.
• Replant cut tops to thicken coverage and sustain vibrant coloration.
• Ideal as fiery foreground highlights or midground accents and pairs well with green carpets.
