✂️ Care
Let it float on the water's surface. Plenty of light and sufficient nutrients (iron) are essential for the red leaf color. High humidity above the water surface promotes growth. Thin out regularly.
💡 Tip
The red leaf color provides a beautiful color contrast on the water's surface. Combines beautifully with green floating plants such as Salvinia.
