Care & Aquascaping Tips
- Provide strong lighting and steady CO₂ to encourage compact growth and rich coloration.
- Use nutrient-rich substrate and consistent macro/micronutrient dosing to support health and vibrancy.
- Maintain stable water conditions (20–28 °C, pH 5–7.5); it is not overly picky about hardness.
- Routine trimming and replanting of stem tops promote bushier midground clusters.
Planting & Propagation Recommendations
- Plant stems in groups of 3–5 with 3–4 cm spacing using tweezers.
- Replant trimmed tips to propagate and maintain a dense display.
- Use as a midground or background contrast with fine-leaf foreground carpets and larger background stems.
