✂️ Care

Gently rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water. Divide the plant into small portions and plant them with tweezers at ±2 cm intervals in the substrate. The plant grows creeping and thus forms a continuous carpet. Regular trimming stimulates horizontal growth. Liquid fertilization such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.

💡 Planter's tip

Ideal as a beginner-friendly alternative to HC Cuba — same look, fewer demands. For a full carpet in a 60 cm tank, we recommend 3–4 cups.
