✂️ Care

Gently rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water. Divide the cup into small portions of 3–5 plants and carefully plant with tweezers at 1–2 cm distance in fine sand. Plenty of light and CO₂ are essential for a dense, horizontal carpet. Liquid fertilization such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.

💡 Planting tip

CO₂ injection is essential for a fast and dense carpet. Ideal for Iwagumi layouts — the small leaves highlight the structure of stones optimally.
