✂️ Care
Gently rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water. With more light, the leaves will turn orange-red. Do not plant the rhizome too deep in the substrate. During replanting or water changes, 'crypt-melt' can occur — this is normal, and the plant almost always recovers within a few weeks.
💡 Planting tip
Plant in groups for a full effect in the midground.
❓ Frequently asked questions
How do I prepare an In Vitro cup?
