Care data interpretation
The care profile combines difficult difficulty, medium light demand, and recommended CO2.
Emersed growth is marked as possible.
Aquarium tool: Calculate suitable lighting.
Water parameter context
Water-parameter data gives temperature 20–30 °C, pH 4.5–7, KH 0–7 °dKH, and CO2 25–40 mg/L.
Use with this data: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
Nutrient-related values in this profile include nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
Useful next step: Calculate nutrient dosing.
