Care data interpretation
The care profile combines medium 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 24–28 °C, pH 5–8, KH 0–14 °dKH, and CO2 0–40 mg/L.
Use with this data: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
Nutrient fields for the profile cover 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.
Growth and use data
For propagation, the profile lists cutting off daughter plants.
