CO2 Requirement:

High. This plant exhibits optimal growth and coloration with CO2 supplementation. Without CO2, it may grow slowly and have less vibrant colors.

Light Requirements:

High. Needs strong lighting to maintain its compact growth form and vibrant red coloration. In lower light, it may become leggy and lose some color intensity.

Placement in Aquarium:

Midground to Foreground. Its small size and striking color make it a great choice for midground planting or as a colorful foreground accent in larger aquariums.

Height:

5-10 cm. Generally stays compact, but can grow slightly taller in lower light conditions or without sufficient CO2.

Width:

Spreads up to 10-15 cm. Forms a bushy, well-branched structure when trimmed regularly.

Type of Growing:

Upright/Bushy. Grows upwards and branches out, creating a bushy appearance. Regular pruning encourages a denser, more compact form.
