✂️ Care

Plant the stems in the foreground. Plenty of light is essential for compact growth. Prune regularly — cut tops can be replanted, and the plant will form side shoots and become bushier. Avoid chemical treatments. Liquid fertilizer such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.

💡 Planter's Tip

The small, oval leaves create a delicate, airy effect in the foreground. Combines beautifully with HC Cuba or Glossostigma for a varied, fine foreground.
