✂️ Care

Low maintenance and, thanks to its compact size, suitable for smaller aquariums. Do not plant the rhizome too deep in the substrate. Remove old, discolored leaves at the base to make way for new growth.

💡 Planter's tip

Due to its narrow, leaf-shaped profile, a good choice for more compact setups where larger sword plants would be too dominant.
