Lighting, CO₂ and nutrition

Light: High. CO₂: Recommended. Difficulty: Hard.

The library lists added CO₂ as recommended. Stronger lighting and CO₂ require careful, balanced fertilization. Allow extra time for the plant to settle and avoid repeated large changes.

Keeping it healthy

Provide consistent light, suitable nutrition, and routine maintenance. Remove decaying leaves. Watch for algae or melting after transitions, and troubleshoot conditions before making sudden changes.
