Description

This aquarium plant originates from India and Sri Lanka. It has light green leaves with fine structure, providing contrast to other plants. For optimal growth, it requires CO2 injection and a nutrient-rich environment using liquid fertilizers or substrate supplements. Under sufficient lighting, it grows horizontally, producing numerous lateral shoots that give it a bushy appearance. It is best displayed in groups of several stems.
