Excellent algae control on plant leaves without harming the delicate structure
Compatible stem plant with similar care requirements; creates attractive midground composition

Common Diseases
Nutrient Deficiency
Yellowing leaves, stunted growth, pale coloration, leaf holes or transparent patches
Increase fertilizer dosing with all-in-one liquid fertilizers and macronutrient supplements; ensure adequate CO2 and lighting
Algae Overgrowth
Green or brown algae coating on leaves, reduced light penetration, plant appears smothered
Reduce lighting duration to 8-10 hours daily, increase water changes, add algae-eating shrimp or fish, and improve water circulation
Melting
Rapid leaf deterioration, mushy stems, plant appears to dissolve
Improve water parameters (check pH and hardness), increase CO2 if available, perform frequent water changes, and trim affected portions
Slow Growth
Minimal new leaf development, small leaves, weak stem structure
Verify adequate lighting (medium to high), increase fertilizer frequency, ensure CO2 supplementation, and check water temperature is within optimal range
