✂️ Care

Plant the stems in groups of 3–5 in the substrate. Provide sufficient light and fertilise regularly — a nutrient-rich substrate enhances growth. Prune regularly to keep the plant compact and branched; trimmed tops can be easily replanted. Liquid fertiliser such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth and beautiful leaf colour.

 

💡 Planter's tip

The pale green leaves create a beautiful contrast with red-coloured plants such as Alternanthera or Ludwigia. Plant in groups for a full, natural effect in the midground or background.
