✂️ Care

Nomaphila Siamensis is a fast-growing stem plant that can be pruned regularly. Plant the stems directly into the substrate and use Sera Florena as liquid plant fertilizer for optimal growth. CO₂ addition is not mandatory but significantly promotes growth and leaf quality.

💡 Planter's Tip

Plant multiple stems in a group for a full, lush background. After pruning, the cut tops can be replanted directly — this quickly creates dense planting. Combines beautifully with red-colored plants such as Alternanthera or Ludwigia for a colorful contrast.
