Care & Aquascaping Tips

  • Thrives in low to medium light; slow growth supports easy maintenance and controlled spread.
  • CO₂ and liquid fertilisers can accelerate growth but are not necessary, maintaining healthy dark-green color.
  • Attaches to hardscape with fine thread or glue—trim regularly to keep dense, even coverage.
  • Ideal for shrimp tanks—provides grazing surface and shelter for fry and microfauna.
  • Adaptable to wide water conditions: 18–26 °C, pH 6.0–7.5, low to moderate hardness.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

  • Divide into small fragments; attach evenly to rocks or driftwood using superglue gel or cotton thread.
  • Trim every 3–4 weeks to maintain flat carpet appearance and prevent overgrowth.
  • Combine with carpeting foreground plants to create layered aquascape depth and texture.
