✂️ Care
Plant the stems in the midground with sufficient spacing. Stable water parameters and adequate nutrition via the water column are essential. Under moderate light conditions, the plant may turn greener and lose its white appearance. Regular trimming encourages bushy growth. Liquid fertilizers like Sera Florena support healthy growth.
💡 Planter's Tip
The silvery, white leaves provide a unique contrast in the midground. Combines beautifully with dark red species such as Ludwigia Guinea or Rotala 'Blood Red' for a dramatic color display.
