Care & Aquascaping Tips

  • Medium to high lighting encourages thick, bright green coverage.
  • Supplemented CO₂ helps form compact mats, though it will grow without it.
  • Use nutrient-rich water and occasional fertilisation for robust growth.
  • Maintain water temperature around 20–26 °C and stable conditions.
  • Gently flow or trim to shape into carpets or floating islands.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

  • Float softly on the surface or attach to driftwood, rocks, or mesh with fine thread.
  • For carpeting, press gently into fine substrate or aquarium carpeting media.
  • Trim regularly to prevent overgrowth and encourage branching.
  • Share trimmed fragments to expand coverage or use them in aquascape staging.
