✂️ Care

Plant the stems in groups of 5–10 for a full carpet effect. Ensure sufficient light — too little light will cause bare spots between the leaves. Prune regularly to keep the plant compact; cut tops can be replanted. Liquid fertilizer such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.

💡 Planter's Tip

Ideal for filling open spaces in the foreground and midground. Combines beautifully with larger background plants or as a contrast to Anubias and Microsorum on wood. Plant at least 5–10 stems together for a full, natural effect.
