Within working range

Measured underwater with an Apogee MQ-510at this plant’s position. Working ranges are practical reference figures, not biological thresholds. The full survey sets out how the number was taken and what it does not establish.

Growth habit

Stem; compact and slow, with short internodes and horizontal leaves.

Placement

Right side, low, where its density fills the lower stratum.

Coloration notes

Dark green with bronze in stronger light.

General to the species. What this plant has actually done in this aquarium is recorded under observations.

Trimming notes

Slow; occasional topping only.

Current observations

Nothing recorded specific to this plant in this aquarium yet. The scape is still growing in; observations are added when there is something specific to report rather than to fill the section.

Photographs

Photograph pending. Planned: a current photograph at matched camera settings, repeated at intervals so color can be compared across time rather than described.
