Care Guide

🟢 Placement in Aquarium

  • Best suited for the foreground or midground.
  • Can be placed on substrate, driftwood, or rocks.
  • Avoid burying the rhizome in the substrate to prevent rot.

💡 Lighting Requirements

  • Low to moderate light (0.3 – 0.7 W per liter).
  • Higher light enhances its blue shimmer but can encourage algae growth.

🌡️ Water Parameters

  • Temperature: 22°C – 28°C (72°F – 82°F)
  • pH Level: 6.0 – 7.5
  • Water Hardness: Soft to medium (KH 0 – 10, GH 3 – 12)
  • Can thrive in both soft and slightly hard water conditions.

🌱 Growth & Maintenance

  • Growth Rate: Slow
  • Trimming: Minimal, trim old leaves occasionally.
  • Propagation: Cut the rhizome into smaller sections and reattach.

💨 CO₂ & Fertilization

  • CO₂ not required but enhances growth and coloration.
  • Absorbs nutrients from the water column, so liquid fertilizers (micronutrients) help maintain healthy growth.

🚫 Common Issues & Solutions

  • Algae Growth: Can occur in high light setups; keep algae-eating fish/snails and reduce light intensity.
  • Melting Leaves: Common in new plants due to transition stress; new leaves will grow back.
  • Rhizome Rot: Ensure the rhizome is not buried in the substrate.
