CO2 Requirement:

Medium. Benefits from CO2 supplementation for denser growth and a more vibrant green colour, but can adapt to low CO2 environments with slower growth.

Light Requirements:

Medium to High. Thrives under medium to high lighting conditions to encourage compact growth and prevent legginess. In lower light, it grows taller and less compact.

Placement in Aquarium:

Foreground. Ideal for creating a lush carpet effect in the front areas of an aquarium due to its small leaves and low, spreading growth habit.

Height:

1-3 cm. Stays relatively low, making it an excellent carpet plant.

Width:

Can spread up to 20 cm or more, depending on the area available for growth.

Type of Growing:

Creeping/Stoloniferous. Spreads through stolons to form a dense, carpet-like mat over the substrate. Requires regular trimming to maintain a compact appearance.
