CO2 Requirement:

Medium. Benefits from CO2 supplementation for faster growth and more vibrant foliage, but can also grow well in non-CO2 supplemented tanks.

Light Requirements:

Medium to High. Requires good lighting to promote compact growth and prevent legginess. In lower light conditions, it tends to grow taller and less dense.

Placement in Aquarium:

Foreground to Midground. Its small leaf size and creeping growth habit make it ideal for creating a lush foreground or as a filler in the midground.

Height:

3-5 cm. Generally stays low, especially with regular trimming, which encourages lateral spread and dense growth.

Width:

Can spread widely, covering the substrate with a vibrant, green carpet.

Type of Growing:

Creeping. Spreads across the substrate to form a dense mat, ideal for creating a natural, lush landscape in the aquarium.
