• Great for Aquascaping: Its bright green leaves and compact growth make it a versatile plant for creating contrast with other aquatic plants.

Care Requirements:

• Lighting: Requires medium to high lighting to maintain compact growth and encourage the development of white flowers.
• CO2: While not strictly necessary, the addition of CO2 will boost growth and enhance the overall health and color of the plant.
• Water Parameters: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 6.5-7.5 and temperatures between 22-28°C.
• Trimming: Regular trimming helps maintain its compact growth and bushy appearance. Stem cuttings can be replanted to propagate the plant.

Planting Tips:

• Rinse the plant thoroughly to remove the nutrient gel before planting.
• Divide the plant into small portions and plant them in nutrient-rich substrate to promote healthy root development.
• Ideal for midground or background placement, but can also be used in small aquariums due to its compact growth habit.
