✂️ Care

Plant 3–5 stems in a compact group in the mid- or background zone for a lush, full effect. Regularly trim the tops back to the desired height and replant them for denser, bushier growth. Remove old bottom leaves for a healthy, attractive plant. The plant grows quickly and effectively absorbs excess nutrients, which helps to limit algae growth.

💡 Planting tip

Combine with Staurogyne Repens or Cryptocoryne Wendtii in the foreground for a layered, calm transition to this impressive background plant.
