Plant Specifications

Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Thrives under medium to strong lighting and benefits from CO₂ for bushier, healthier growth.
• Prefers nutrient-rich substrate and consistent dosing of complete fertilizers.
• Maintain stable tank conditions—22–28 °C, pH 6.2–7.5—with gentle water movement to support its slender form.
• Periodic trimming maintains a fuller shape and encourages lateral branching.
• Produces delicate white blooms when grown emersed or in paludarium settings; ideal for rich and varied aquascapes.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Plant stems in groups of 3–5, spaced 4–5 cm apart, using fine tweezers.
• Anchor stems firmly in substrate to encourage robust root growth.
• Trim above-node tops and replant cuttings to expand bushy background coverage.
• Position as a tall backdrop behind lower carpets or midground accents for layered aquascapes.
