✂️ Care

Plant the tuber partially into your (nutrient) substrate, with at least 1/3 above the substrate — damage the roots as little as possible to prevent rot. CO₂ addition ensures fuller leaf growth and stimulates the growth of runners with new tubers. Regularly prune the longest stems to keep the plant compact.

💡 Planter's tip

Allow a few runners with new small tubers to grow out to easily cultivate new plants for other parts of the aquarium.
