✂️ Care
Plant the stems in groups in the foreground. CO₂ and sufficient light promote compact growth. Prune regularly — cut off tops can be replanted for a fuller result. Liquid fertilization such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter's tip
Bihar's slightly larger leaves provide a nice contrast next to the finer Staurogyne Repens or Micranthemum Monte Carlo in the foreground.
