✂️ Care

Hyptis Laciniata has few demands, but good nutrition with macro and micronutrients combined with CO₂ greatly promotes growth. Strong light enhances the purple-pink hue at the shoot tips. Regularly prune the tips to keep the bush in shape and easily propagate the plant by replanting these cuttings.

💡 Planter tip

The fine, fern-like leaf structure provides a beautiful contrast to large-leafed plants, and is a smaller alternative to Hygrophila Difformis with the same elegant appearance.
