Gently rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water. Divide the plant into small portions and plant them with tweezers in the foreground. Prune regularly — you can replant trimmed tops for a fuller, more compact result. Liquid fertilizer such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter's Tip
The small, oval leaves create a delicate, airy effect in the foreground. Combines beautifully with HC Cuba or Glossostigma for a varied, fine foreground.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
My plant is growing upwards instead of compactly — what's wrong?
This is caused by insufficient light. Increase the light intensity and prune regularly for compact growth.
My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, In Vitro plants are grown above water and will adapt. Give the plant 1–2 weeks. For persistent problems: please contact us.
Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes — especially as In Vitro, it is ideal for shrimp tanks, completely free of pests.
