CO2 Requirement:
Medium. Benefits from CO2 supplementation for denser growth and a more vibrant green color, 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.
