✂️ Care

Carefully plant the stems in the substrate — the leaves are delicate. The plant develops better in terms of color and compactness with plant nutrition, CO₂, and sufficient light, but it can also be kept well without them. Prune regularly; cut tops can be replanted to form a carpet. Liquid fertilizers like Sera Florena support healthy growth.

💡 Planter tip

Bacopa Australis is an excellent alternative to Micranthemum Umbrosum — similar appearance but much easier to keep. Suitable for the foreground, midground, and background depending on the desired height.
