Care & Aquascaping Tips

  • Requires strong lighting and consistent CO₂ to maintain compact form and enhance reddish base coloration.
  • Thrives in ammonia-rich, nutrient-dense substrate; low nitrates deepen red tones but may slow growth.
  • Prefers low alkaline water (KH ≤3 °dKH), pH 4.5–7.0, temperature 20–29 °C.
  • Delicate foliage—handle with care and avoid strong currents.
  • Grown often emersed in nurseries; acclimation to submerged form should be done carefully, preferably under stable tank conditions.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

  • Plant in small, tight bunches (3–5 rosettes) using tweezers for precision.
  • Ensure substrate flow (CO₂ and nutrients) reaches the base to support healthy growth.
  • Propagate by gently separating natural offsets from mature clumps once established.
  • Ideal in Dutch-style arrangements or as bright foreground micro accents among stones or driftwood.
