Great plant that is actually a stem plant from Japan. Easy to grow under moderate to high light; 0.6 - 0.7 W/L with CO2 injection would bring out its best growth.

I've had great success with this little plant! It's fussy, so give it at least 0.7 W/L and CO2 (DIY is fine for tanks under 150 L). I fertilize it with iron and flourite, but it will grow without these additions. When it does grow well, it thrives; it's bright vibrant green, it grows in thick bushy clumps and it looks fabulous. It will develop side stems, so propagation is relatively easy. I prefer this plant as a fore- to midground plant, tightly clumped and covering the front half of a tank.
