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

Whorled stem; fast and large, with narrow radiating leaves.

Placement

Right group. Currently in one of the lowest-measuring positions in the tank.

Coloration notes

Green to bronze-orange depending on conditions.

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

Trimming notes

Vigorous; needs topping to stay in proportion.

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.
