Growth and use data
Propagation context is limited to cutting off daughter plants.
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 20–28 °C, pH 5–6, KH 0–7 °dKH, and CO2 25–40 mg/L.
Use with this data: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
Nutrient-related values in this profile include 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.
