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

Low creeping stem; slow, branching, forms a dense low bush.

Placement

Front-left foreground, one of the lowest-growing plants in the scape.

Coloration notes

Bright fresh green.

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

Trimming notes

Trim tops to force lateral branching and keep the mat dense.

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.
