Care & Aquascaping Tips

  • Thrives under medium to high lighting (≥80 µmol PAR) to intensify its deep red coloration.
  • CO₂ injection enhances color richness and supports bushier growth.
  • Maintains vibrant red hues with low nitrates (<5 ppm) and consistent iron and micronutrient supplementation.
  • Prefers soft to moderately hard water (pH 6.0–7.5, GH 2–12 °dGH) and moderate temperatures (22–28 °C).
  • Regular trimming after 4–6 nodes encourages branching and prevents lower stem thinning.
  • Tolerant of less intense setups but expresses fullest color under ideal conditions.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

  • Use tweezers to plant 4–6 stems in groups with ~3 cm spacing for dense display.
  • Replant trimmed tops to propagate and enhance overall color and coverage.
  • Pair with soft green foregrounds or darker background plants to make the red stand out.
