Key Features

• What makes it especially versatile is its ability to grow either rooted in substrate or attached directly to hardscape, where its lateral runners send out roots that grip tightly to rocks and driftwood.
• It is an excellent choice for hobbyists looking for a multi-use accent plant that bridges the gap between hardscape features and taller background plants.
• Adapts to both substrate and epiphytic growth on hardscape, sending out horizontal runners to form a spreading layer.
• Moderate-to-high lighting and rich fertilization encourage compact growth and bring out deep red and purple pigmentation.
• Prep the plant by removing it from the pot or lead wrap and clearing all rockwool from the roots .
• Plant stems deeply into aquarium soil or attach them directly onto rocks and driftwood using thread or aquarium glue until adventitious roots anchor securely.
