CO2 Requirement:

High. Requires CO2 supplementation for optimal growth. Without CO2, growth is significantly slower and less robust.

Light Requirements:

High. Needs intense lighting to thrive and maintain a compact, lush carpet.

Placement in Aquarium:

Foreground. Perfect for creating a dense, vibrant carpet in the front of the tank, thanks to its tiny leaves and low growth habit.

Height:

1-3 cm. Stays very low to the substrate, ideal for a foreground carpet plant.

Width:

Can spread widely, forming a thick, lush mat when given the right conditions of light and CO2.

Type of Growing:

Creeping. Spreads across the substrate through runners, requiring regular trimming to maintain a neat, carpeted look.
