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.
