Temperature

Prefers slightly acidic to neutral water, with a pH of 6.0 to 7.5. Soft to moderately hard water is ideal.

Growth Rate

Moderate grower. It reaches 12–20 inches (30–50 cm), making it a great choice for the background of a planted aquarium.

Propagation

It can be propagated by cutting healthy stems and replanting them in nutrient-rich aquarium soil. Frequent trimming encourages denser, bushier growth.
