Foreground to midground. Spreads slowly via runners to fill out the tank naturally over months.

🧪Fertilisation
Root tabs every 6 weeks
⏰Schedule
Push root tabs around the base every 6 weeks plus optional weekly liquid micros for faster growth.
✂️Propagation
Daughter plants on runners can be separated once they have 3 or more leaves established.
