Care & Aquascaping Tips
- Requires strong lighting and consistent CO₂ to develop deep red or violet leaf coloration.
- Thrives in nutrient-rich substrate with regular dosing of iron-rich fertilizers.
- Maintain stable conditions—22–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5, gentle filtration—to prevent melt.
- Frequent trimming (after 4–6 nodes) encourages bushy growth and vibrant color expression.
- Use as a striking midground or background highlight—clusters of 5–7 stems offer maximum visual impact.
Planting & Propagation Recommendations
- Plant stems in groups of 4–6, spaced 3–4 cm apart using tweezers.
- Anchor stems securely in a nutrient substrate to support upright growth.
- Replant top cuttings to thicken stands and maintain red hues.
- Compliments green carpets or stems for layered contrast.
