Care & Aquascaping Tips

  • Requires bright lighting (≥0.5 W/L or strong PAR) and CO₂ injection to maintain dense growth and coloration :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
  • Thrives in soft, slightly acidic water (pH 5–7, KH 0–1); hard water may impair foliage :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}.
  • Regular nutrient dosing is essential—keep nitrates around 20–25 ppm, phosphorus 1–2 ppm, and include iron and micronutrients :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.
  • Sensitive to parameter changes; acclimate slowly and avoid sudden shifts to prevent melt :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}.
  • Frequent trimming of top shoots promotes branching and bushier appearance :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

  • Plant in dense groups (3–5 stems together, 2–4 cm spacing) to form stunning midground/textural patches :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}.
  • Use tweezers to anchor stems firmly into a nutrient-rich substrate.
  • Harvest tops after 5–7 cm and replant cuttings to propagate and expand coverage.
  • Pair with finer-leaf foreground plants and solid green background stems for layered composition.
