Plant Specifications

Care & Aquascaping Tips

• Prefer low-to-medium diffused light to keep leaf striping clear and rosette compact.
• CO₂ may enhance vigor but is not vital.
• Use nutrient-rich substrate with occasional root tabs to support healthy development.
• Maintain stable tank conditions—22–28 °C, pH 6.0–7.5—to avoid melt.
• Remove older leaves from the base to make way for fresh shoots.

Planting & Propagation Recommendations

• Place the rosette above the substrate surface, spacing 5–7 cm apart.
• Use tweezers to gently anchor roots into the substrate.
• Allow roots to establish before routine adjustments; divide rosette clumps when mature.
• Pair with fine-textured foreground carpets to highlight striping and shape.
