✂️ Care
Plant the stems in the foreground or midground. The plant grows slowly — patience pays off. Plenty of light and CO₂ are essential for the most beautiful red tips. Propagate by topping the plant and replanting the tip. Liquid fertilizer like Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter's tip
The red tips provide a unique color accent in the foreground or midground. Combines beautifully with fresh green ground cover plants such as Micranthemum Monte Carlo or Staurogyne Repens for maximum contrast.
