Care & Aquascaping Tips
- Use medium to bright lighting and gentle CO₂ dosing for compact growth and vibrant green coloration.
- Thrives in soft to moderately hard water (pH 5–7.5, 20–30 °C) with stable parameters.
- Plant in nutrient-rich fine substrate; regular trimming encourages lateral spreading.
- Due to its delicate nature, introduce into well-established tanks to avoid melt; start with small clumps.
Planting & Propagation Recommendations
- Use tweezers to plant tufts (~5 shoots) spaced 2–3 cm apart.
- Press roots gently into the substrate to establish solid contact.
- Trim runners and replant cuttings to expand coverage as mats develop.
- Pair with low-growing carpets or mosses in Iwagumi/nano setups for enhanced texture.
