✂️ Care

Plant the stems in groups of 3–5 in the substrate. Sufficient light is essential for the most intense purple leaf color — with too little light, the color fades to green. CO₂ and liquid fertilizers such as Sera Florena promote compact, healthy growth. Prune regularly; cut off tops can be replanted.

💡 Planter's Tip

The purple leaf color creates a beautiful contrast with bright green plants such as Vallisneria or Egeria. Plant in groups for a full color accent in the mid- or background.
