✂️ Care

Plant the stems in groups in the background. Prune regularly — cut tops can be replanted for a fuller result. More light ensures better branching and more intense red color. Liquid nutrients like Sera Florena support healthy growth.

💡 Planter's tip

Plant in groups of 5–7 stems for the best effect. Combines beautifully with fresh green plants like Ludwigia Palustris Green or Hygrophila for a striking green-red contrast.
