- 20-50cm
- Lighting
- Strong light is essential. If light is lacking, the leaves shrink or turn greenish and the deep red is lost.
- CO2 & Fertilizer
- Pressurized CO2 and regular liquid fertilizer containing iron are essential. If any of light, CO2 or nutrients is missing, its beauty suffers.
- Water Temperature & Quality
- The optimum is 24–26°C with fairly soft to soft water of GH 4 or below. In hard water the red is difficult to achieve.
- Trimming & Propagation
- Trim regularly and replant the cut stems to raise the density. Grow it in a group as a red accent in the background.
- Notes
- Sensitive to water changes. Stable environment needed
