Care Instructions

Prefers cool, clean, well-oxygenated water but adapts to various conditions. Keep lighting moderate to avoid algae buildup. Trim as needed to maintain shape and promote healthy, compact growth.

Planting: Attach small clumps to rocks, driftwood, or mesh with thread or glue. It will gradually anchor itself and spread into soft, trailing 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.
