Its subtle coloration and fine texture make it a great choice for midground to background placement in planted aquariums.

  • Responds well to regular trimming for compact growth.
  • Great contrast when planted among red or dark-leaved species.

Important Notes

Hedyotis salzmannii benefits from stable CO₂ and nutrients to maintain strong coloration and healthy growth. Without trimming, the plant can become leggy, so regular shaping is recommended for best results.
