Care Tips
Care Tips
Lighting: Thrives in low to high lighting; lower light results in slower growth.
CO₂ & Fertilization: CO₂ is not necessary but can enhance growth; benefits from liquid fertilization, especially in nutrient-deficient tanks.
Temperature: Prefers water temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C).
Water Conditions: Best in a pH range of 6.0–7.5 with soft to moderately hard water.
Water Flow: Prefers calm water; excessive surface agitation may cause damage to the delicate roots.
Trimming & Maintenance: Regular thinning prevents overgrowth and ensures light reaches plants below.
Propagation: Spreads naturally by sending out runners that develop new plantlets.
