✂️ Care
Plant in groups in the mid- or background. Plenty of light is important for healthy, robust growth; CO₂ supplementation is recommended for the best results. The plant spreads naturally via runners, gradually filling open spaces. Thanks to its wide tolerance for water parameters and temperature, this is a relatively forgiving species, provided its light requirements are met.
💡 Planter's tip
Plant in a group for a natural lawn effect in the mid- or background, and combine with broader-leaf plants for structural contrast.
