✂️ Care
Plant in a nutrient-rich substrate in the background. Regularly prune older leaves at the base to keep the plant compact. Liquid fertilizers like Sera Florena and root fertilizers support healthy growth.
💡 Planter tip
Suitable for open aquariums — the plant will then grow above the water surface and produce flower stalks. Combines beautifully with smaller Echinodorus species in the midground.
