Structured classification connects the profile with genus Eichhornia, family Pontederiaceae, order Commelinales, and major group Angiosperms.
For broader context and filtering, open the Aquarium Plant Library.
Care data interpretation
The care profile combines difficult difficulty, medium light demand, and recommended CO2.
The plant profile allows for emersed growth.
Use with this data: Calculate suitable lighting.
Water parameter context
Aquarium range fields include temperature 20–28 °C, pH 5–7, KH 0–10 °dKH, and CO2 20–40 mg/L.
Useful next step: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
The nutrient fields provide nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
Planning tool: Calculate nutrient dosing.
