The range of water temperatures that naias finds comfortable is fairly broad, ranging from 18 to 30 °C. Aquariums that are tropical or moderately warm can house it. Although it doesn’t really matter, very soft water causes the plant to grow a little more slowly. Water can react actively in any way. Since naias thrive in fresh water, it is ideal to change the water three to four times a month.

Although the plant can tolerate prolonged shade, it is not very picky about lighting and will only form stunning thickets of vibrant green when exposed to intense light.

The aquarium where the naias grow can be lit with either artificial or natural light. The ideal illumination of illuminators when using fluorescent LB lamps should be roughly 0.4 W per 1 liter of volume. Fluorescent lights like LD can be used, but only in conjunction with low-power incandescent lights. Depending on how well the aquarium is lit, the length of the daylight hours can vary greatly.

Nayas doesn’t require mineral top dressing because the plant produces enough of those substances that are introduced into the aquarium along with fish food.

Cuttings are a very simple way to propagate Nasa. It suffices to take one of the numerous shoots and provide it with somewhat ideal conditions so that it can develop into a new dense thicket.

Beginner aquarists should consider this plant not only for its ease of maintenance but also for its ability to actively affect the aquarium’s metabolism, supply oxygen to fish, and prepare water for a variety of demanding plants.
