Aquascaping Tips

For the most intense orange coloration, provide strong lighting, stable CO₂, and adequate micronutrients—especially iron. Regular trimming encourages branching and helps create dense, vibrant groups that become a dramatic focal point in the aquarium. Pair it with green plants such as Rotala Green, Monte Carlo, or Hairgrass to maximize its striking warm tones.

Plant Size: Typically reaches 20–50 cm (8–20 inches) in height, making it ideal for midground to background placement in medium and large aquariums.
