- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- Perennial
- Size
- Floating
- Lighting
- Strong light is the key to red colouring; under high light the leaves redden and the roots turn red to pink. With too little light both stay green.
- CO2 & Fertilizer
- Needs neither CO2 nor substrate; it grows simply floating on the surface. It absorbs nitrate and phosphate, helping with water quality.
- Water Temperature & Quality
- A temperature of 20–28°C and slightly acidic to neutral water at pH 6–7 suit it. It also helps purify water in heavily stocked tanks.
- Trimming & Propagation
- It multiplies rapidly by division. Just split off plants and move them to another tank to propagate, and thin out any excess.
- Notes
- Overgrowth covers surface and blocks light
