Care & Aquascaping Tips

  • Thrives in medium lighting—too little light can slow leaf emergence.
  • CO₂ is optional but supports upright growth and enhances health.
  • Benefits from nutrient-rich substrate; root tabs or substrate dosing recommended.
  • Grow best in stable conditions: 22–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5; avoid frequent disturbance to reduce melt risk.
  • Remove dead leaves at the base to allow fresh foliage to emerge.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

  • Plant the crown just above the substrate surface to prevent rot.
  • Space 6–8 cm apart to accommodate mature rosette width.
  • Propagate by dividing the rhizome or separating older offshoots during maintenance.
  • Pair with softer-leaf foreground plants to accent its bold, wavy texture.
