Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Thrives in medium light; stronger lighting and CO₂ boost leaf density and subtle red coloration.
• Plant in nutrient-rich substrate; regular trace-element dosing supports healthy growth.
• Maintain stable conditions: 22–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5, gentle flow to preserve foliage structure.
• Trim stems every few weeks to encourage branching and keep compact midground clusters.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Group stems in bunches of 3–5, spaced 3 cm apart for optimal coverage.
• Anchor stems with tweezers to establish a stable root zone.
• Replant trimmed tips to expand coverage and thicken midground visual impact.
• Pair with fine-leaved foregrounds or taller backgrounds to complete a dynamic aquascape.
