Planting & Care Tips

For best results, plant individual stems about 2-3 inches apart in nutrient-rich substrate. While this aquatic plant can adapt to medium light, its most vibrant colors emerge under strong illumination with supplemental CO₂. Regular fertilization with iron-rich nutrients will maintain its striking coloration.

Note: Some initial leaf melt may occur as the plant adjusts to submerged conditions. This is normal – new underwater growth will soon replace any melting leaves.
