✂️ Care

Gently rinse the gel under lukewarm water and divide the stems into groups of 3–5. Plant in the substrate and provide sufficient light — essential for the most intense purple leaf color. CO₂ and liquid fertilizers like Sera Florena promote compact, healthy growth. Prune regularly; cut tops can be replanted.

💡 Planter's Tip

The purple leaf color creates a beautiful contrast with bright green plants. Plant in groups for a full splash of color in the midground or background.
