✂️ Care
Gently rinse the gel under lukewarm water and plant the stems with sufficient spacing in the background zone — do not plant them too close together. Keep the KH low (0–6) — this is crucial for the plant's health. CO₂ and sufficient light promote lush, airy growth. Liquid fertilizer such as Sera Florena in low dosage supports healthy development.
💡 Planting tip
The fine, needle-like leaves give a unique, airy appearance in the background zone. Combines beautifully with wider leaf species for a layered, depth-giving effect.
