Growth and use data
For plant planning, growth data provides width 0–1 cm.
Propagation context is limited to fragmentation.
Care data interpretation
The care profile is centered on easy difficulty, medium light demand, and recommended CO2.
Emersed growth is included as a possible growth mode.

Water parameter context
Available aquarium parameters show temperature 28–30 °C, pH 4–8, KH 2–30 °dKH, and CO2 0–40 mg/L.
For this profile: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
Macro and trace range fields show nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
Aquarium tool: Calculate nutrient dosing.
