It thrives under medium to high lighting and benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate. Regular trimming is necessary to prevent it from becoming too leggy and to maintain its compact, bushy growth. While it does not require COâ‚‚ injection, providing it will promote healthier growth and more vivid coloration. It is best suited for the midground to background of the tank, where it can grow to its full height. Fertilization with iron-rich liquid fertilizers will help enhance the vibrant red and pink tones of its leaves. This plant works well in both low-tech and high-tech setups but will show its best colors with stable conditions and proper care.
