Key Requirements

Lighting: Provide moderate to high lighting for 8-10 hours per day. The right light intensity is crucial to encourage horizontal, carpeting growth instead of vertical, leggy growth. LED lights with a color temperature of 6500-7000K are recommended.
Substrate: Use a fine-grain, nutrient-rich substrate (e.g., aquarium soil or clay-based substrate) to provide essential minerals and allow the delicate roots to anchor securely. Root tabs or liquid fertilizers can supplement nutrients as needed.
CO2 Injection: While not strictly mandatory, CO2 supplementation significantly enhances growth rate and density, leading to a faster and healthier carpet. Start with a low-to-moderate rate and adjust as needed.
Water Parameters: Maintain a stable temperature range of 72-78°F (22-26°C) and a slightly acidic to neutral pH level of 6.0-7.5.
Water Changes: Perform regular water changes (e.g., 25% weekly) to maintain water quality and prevent algae overgrowth
