Though not a heavy feeder, it responds well to a stable nutrient supply, which helps maintain healthy growth and enhances coloration. CO₂ supplementation is not essential but will promote denser foliage and more vibrant leaf tones. Due to its slow growth, care must be taken to avoid algae buildup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1778\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1778\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1360\" data-end=\"1375\"\u003eTank Setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1378\"\u003eThis plant thrives when attached to hardscape elements like driftwood, rocks, or aquarium decorations.
