Growth and use data

Propagation context is limited to cutting off daughter plants.

The profile carries usage values for epiphyte and mosses.

Care data interpretation

Care-related values include medium difficulty, low 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 from 20 °C, pH 5–7.5, KH 0–14 °dKH, and CO2 10–40 mg/L.

Use with this data: Estimate CO2 balance.

Nutrient range context

For dosing context, nutrient ranges include nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.5–3 mg/L, potassium 5–50 mg/L, and iron 0.05–0.2 mg/L.

Useful next step: Calculate nutrient dosing.
