Planting & Care Tips

Separate the plant into small portions and plant them in nutrient-rich aquarium substrate, leaving enough space between portions for spreading growth. Provide suitable lighting, stable water conditions and balanced nutrients for healthy development.

CO₂ supplementation is recommended to encourage compact growth and a denser foreground. Under lower lighting, the plant may grow more upright rather than creeping along the substrate. Trim longer shoots regularly and replant healthy cuttings to expand your planted area.
