– Too much light may cause algae on the leaves.
🌿 CO₂ & Nutrients
– CO₂ is not required, making it perfect for low‑tech setups.
– Benefits from occasional liquid fertilization, especially potassium.
– Avoid burying the rhizome—on a pad, it stays naturally exposed.
🌡️ Water Parameters
– Temperature: 20–28°C
– pH: 6.0–7.5
– Soft to moderately hard water
– Very tolerant of varying conditions
🌱 Placement
– Place the pad directly on hardscape or substrate.
– The rhizome will slowly attach itself to nearby surfaces.
– Works beautifully as a midground or background accent in nano tanks.
✂️ Maintenance
– Trim older or damaged leaves at the base of the rhizome.
– Growth is slow and controlled, making it easy to manage.
– Resistant to herbivorous fish—most won’t eat it.
