Care & Aquascaping Tips
- Requires strong lighting and stable CO₂ injection to bring out its full color potential and maintain compact form.
- Use a nutrient-rich substrate and regular macronutrient and iron dosing to support intense pigmentation.
- Prefers soft to moderately hard water (pH 5.8–7.2, GH 3–12 °dGH), temperature range 22–28 °C.
- Trim after 4–6 nodes to encourage branching; replant cuttings to create dense, colorful stands.
- Delicate leaves benefit from stability—introduce in well-established tanks without aggressive fish.
Planting & Propagation Recommendations
- Group 4–6 stems, spacing them 3–4 cm apart with precision tweezers.
- Anchor stems firmly in substrate to ensure healthy root zones.
- Replant top cuttings to propagate and sustain color intensity and congregation.
- Best when paired with green carpets and contrasting background stems to elevate tank depth.
