Growth and use data

The profile gives growth details for height up to 2 cm and width up to 0 cm.

Propagation context is limited to fragmentation.

Care data interpretation

Aquarium care fields show very easy difficulty, low light demand, and recommended CO2.

Emersed growth is included as a possible growth mode.

Water parameter context

Available aquarium parameters show temperature 20–28 °C, pH 5–8, KH 0–21 °dKH, and CO2 2–40 mg/L.

For this profile: Estimate CO2 balance.

Nutrient range context

Available nutrient data includes 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.

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