✂️ Care
Gently rinse the gel under lukewarm water and plant the stems in the midground or background. Plenty of light is essential — with too little light, the leaves become thin and limp. Use iron fertilization for the most intense red-orange coloration. CO₂ promotes growth. Prune regularly for a compact, branched plant. Liquid nutrients like Sera Florena support healthy growth.
💡 Planter Tip
The red-orange color provides a spectacular color accent next to light green plants. Combines beautifully with Rotala Rotundifolia or Pogostemon Erectus for maximum contrast.
