✂️ Care
Plant the stems in groups of 5–7 in the mid or background zone. Prune regularly — you can replant trimmed tips. CO₂ is not mandatory but leads to more compact growth and intense color. Liquid fertilizer like Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter's tip
The narrow leaves move beautifully in the water current, creating an airy, dynamic effect. It combines well with broad-leaved plants such as Anubias or Echinodorus for a varied composition.
