Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Do I need CO2 injection for this plant?
A: Most beginner aquatic plants do not strictly require CO2, but adding it along with balanced liquid fertilizers will promote faster growth and denser foliage.

Q: How do I plant this in my aquarium?
A: If it is a stem plant, insert the lower stems directly into your substrate. For epiphytes like Anubias, attach the rhizome to rocks or driftwood; do not bury the rhizome.

Q: How do I control melting when introducing it?
