✂️ Care

A nutrient-rich substrate, such as an aquasoil with a nutrient layer, is essential for this plant. Liquid iron-containing fertilizer such as Sera Florena further enhances the red color. Remove old, yellowing leaves at the rhizome to stimulate new growth.

💡 Planting tip

Place as a solitary eye-catcher or in small groups in the mid-zone. Combine with green background plants for a strong color contrast.
