Aquascaping Tips

Plant stems individually in the substrate, spacing them 2–3 cm apart to allow light penetration and bushy growth. Regular trimming encourages lateral branching and a fuller appearance. Under high light and CO₂, the foliage may develop reddish-pink hues, adding striking colour contrast to your scape.

Tissue culture plants may require an acclimatization period of 1–2 weeks as they transition from in-vitro to submerged growth conditions.
