Known for being less demanding than alternatives like Glossostigma or Hemianthus, it tolerates lower light levels and minimal CO₂, making it suitable for a wide range of setups. Under higher light and improved conditions, its growth and density improve significantly. Each leaf remains small, usually under 0.5cm wide, creating a fine, textured carpet effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\r \u003cp data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"843\"\u003eSupplied as a 60mm tissue culture pot, this plant arrives free from snails, algae, and pesticides.
