✂️ Care

Very adaptable and low-maintenance. Do not plant the rhizome too deep into the substrate. Remove old leaves at the base to make room for new growth. Due to its size, it is most suitable for medium to large aquariums.

💡 Planter's tip

Ideal as an impressive background plant or a solitary eye-catcher. Combine with smaller foreground plants for a beautiful height transition.
