Care & Aquascaping Tips

  • Thrives in low to medium light; optional CO₂ and fertilization can boost growth for faster coverage.
  • Attaches easily to hardscape using thread or glue; trims help maintain shape and density.
  • Provides excellent hiding and breeding sites for shrimp and small fish.
  • Adaptable to wide temperature ranges (18–28 °C) and pH 5.5–8.0; strong current encourages bushy growth.
  • Resilient plant suitable for beginner to advanced aquascapers building textured layouts.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

  • Separate into small fragments and attach to rocks or driftwood with fine thread or gel.
  • Encourage dense carpeting by trimming every few weeks to collect and replant healthy tips.
  • Combine with carpeting plants in foreground for layered aquascaping or use as filler between hardscape.
