Needs Added CO2? no but will benefit from it
Needs Added Fertilizers? no but will benefit from it, and if you do add them make sure you add the liquid ones as this plant isn't primarily a root feeder meaning it doesn't get lots of nutrients from the soil
This is an easily found, beautiful, hardy, popular aquarium plant that I personally love myself, because of its few requirements and the fact that when placed in the mid ground it adds what looks like layers or dimension to the tank itself.
The green colors will compliment lighter colored fish in large schools. I have green this plant from high to low logo and it's been known to d much better in high light so if I were you the. Would only get this plant if you can provide somewhat higher lights.
It has been known to turn a light red color in the right conditions. I would recommend this for any setup if you can provide the right things for it. If you can this plant appreciates light liquid fertilization as it feeds through its root feeders out of the sides.
