• Hardy and Low Maintenance: Extremely durable and easy to care for, requiring minimal attention.
• Versatile Placement: Can be attached to driftwood, rocks, or even mesh for unique aquascaping applications.
• Slow Growth: Its slow-growing nature means less frequent trimming and maintenance.

Care Requirements

• Lighting: Prefers low to medium light; avoid direct, high-intensity light to prevent algae growth on leaves.
• CO2: CO2 is not necessary but can promote slightly faster growth.
• Water Parameters: Thrives in a range of water conditions with a pH between 6.0-7.5 and temperatures of 22-28°C.
• Trimming: Minimal trimming required; simply remove any yellowing or damaged leaves occasionally.

Planting Tips

• Attach to Hardscape: Secure the rhizome to driftwood, rocks, or mesh using aquarium-safe glue or thread. Ensure the rhizome is not buried to avoid rot.
• Foreground Placement: Ideal for the foreground due to its small size and dense growth habit.
• Propagation: Divide the rhizome into smaller sections, ensuring each has at least one leaf; these can then be attached to new hardscape elements or planted in different areas.
