Planting & Care Tips

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

Provide consistent lighting, balanced nutrients and stable water conditions. CO₂ supplementation can improve growth and colour intensity, while adequate micronutrients support healthy foliage. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, CO₂ supply or fertilisation.

Trim the upper stems regularly to encourage side shoots and maintain a dense background. Replant healthy cuttings to expand your planted aquarium.
