Thrives in clean, stable water with gentle flow. Requires little maintenance; trim occasionally to maintain shape and prevent debris buildup. Avoid strong light to reduce algae growth.
Planting: Attach small portions to driftwood, stones, or mesh using thread or glue. Over time, it will anchor naturally and spread into dense, velvety mats.
Please note: Our tanks may contain other aquarium 'pests'. If you wish to keep your aquarium snail and pest free, rinse plants gently before adding them to your tank.
