Planting & Care Tips

Plant individual stems in suitable aquarium substrate, allowing enough space between them for light penetration and healthy growth. Grouping several stems together can create a fuller, more attractive display.

Provide strong lighting, stable CO₂ levels and balanced macro- and micronutrients. A complete aquarium fertiliser containing iron can help support healthy foliage and coloration. Under insufficient lighting or without adequate CO₂, the plant may become thin, lose its red colour and struggle to thrive.

Trim the upper stems regularly and replant healthy cuttings to expand your plant group. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, fertilisation or CO₂ availability.
