✂️ Care

Rinse the gel from the roots with lukewarm water before planting. Always attach the rhizome to wood or stone — never bury it in the substrate. Tie with cotton thread or use plant glue. The Baby Leaf is tolerant of various water parameters and has low requirements for light or CO₂. Liquid fertilizers such as Sera Florena support healthy growth.

💡 Planter's tip

In Vitro plants contain more plant material than a standard pot — divide the contents into several small pieces for faster results. Thanks to its compact size, the Baby Leaf is ideal for the foreground or as an accent on a small piece of wood or stone.

❓ Frequently asked questions

How do I remove the gel from an In Vitro plant?
Gently rinse the plant under lukewarm running water. The gel dissolves easily — make sure not to damage the roots.

Can I plant the rhizome in the substrate?
No — the rhizome must always remain above the substrate. Burying it will lead to rot and the plant dying.

Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, In Vitro plants are 100% pesticide-free and completely shrimp-friendly.
