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

Fine stem; narrow needle leaves, upright, moderate speed.

Placement

Left-center, used for fine red texture.

Coloration notes

Orange to red in the tips under stronger light.

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

Trimming notes

Top and replant; densifies when cut.

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.
