Growth and use data

Propagation context is limited to proliferating inflorescences.

Care data interpretation

Aquarium care fields show 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

Water-parameter data gives temperature 24–31 °C, pH 5–8, KH 1–20 °dKH, and CO2 0–40 mg/L.

Use with this data: Estimate CO2 balance.

Nutrient range context

The profile gives nutrient targets for 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.

The page only uses populated plant fields; local aquarium conditions still matter.
