Care data interpretation
The care summary is limited to easy difficulty, low light demand, and recommended CO2.
The plant profile allows for emersed growth.
For this profile: Calculate suitable lighting.
Water parameter context
Available water ranges include temperature 20–26 °C, pH 5–8, KH 2–20 °dKH, and CO2 5–40 mg/L.
Aquarium tool: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
Macro and trace range fields show nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.5–3 mg/L, potassium 5–50 mg/L, and iron 0.05–0.2 mg/L.
Use with this data: Calculate nutrient dosing.
