✂️ Care

Gently rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water. Plant in groups of 5–7 small plants in a nutrient-rich substrate. The plant spreads by itself via runners. When transplanting, 'crypt-melt' can occur — this is normal, and the plant will recover within a few weeks.

💡 Planting tip

Plant in groups for a faster and fuller result in the foreground.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What is 'crypt-melt'?
Crypt-melt is a natural reaction to change. The leaves yellow and die, but the rhizome remains alive, and the plant regrows within a few weeks.

Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes — especially as In Vitro, it's ideal for shrimp tanks, completely free of pest organisms.
