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

Place as a solitary eye-catcher in the midground. Thanks to its XL size, you immediately get a colorful, full result.
❓ Frequently asked questions
What does XL mean for this plant?
XL indicates that you receive a larger, more developed plant than the standard size.
How do I keep the red color intense?
Plenty of light and a nutrient-rich substrate are essential. Without these factors, the color fades to green.
My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, this is transport stress and almost always temporary. Give the plant 1–2 weeks to acclimatize. For persistent problems: please contact us.
Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly.
