✂️ Care
Gently rinse off the culture gel under lukewarm water. Plant the stems in the foreground. High light and CO₂ are key to bushy growth and red hues in the leaf veins. Prune regularly — cut tips can be replanted for a fuller result. Liquid fertilizer like Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter's Tip
The star-shaped leaf growth provides a unique, airy effect in the foreground. Combines beautifully with Staurogyne Repens or HC Cuba as a transition to the midground.
