Growth and use data
Propagation context is limited to cuttings.
Care data interpretation
The care profile is centered on very easy difficulty, medium light demand, and recommended CO2.
Emersed growth is included as a possible growth mode.
Aquarium tool: Calculate suitable lighting.
Water parameter context
Structured water data includes temperature 24–28 °C, pH 5.5–7.5, KH 2–18 °dKH, and CO2 10–40 mg/L.
Use with this data: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
Nutrient comparison is based on 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.
