✂️ Care
Gently rinse off the cultivation gel. Plant in the background. Prune regularly to prevent the plant from overshadowing other plants. The trimmed tops can be replanted immediately. Liquid fertilizers like Sera Florena support healthy growth.
💡 Planter's tip
Prune the longest runners regularly — the tops will quickly regrow. Combines beautifully with smaller background plants.
