✂️ Care
Plant the stems in groups in the midground or background. Prune regularly — cut off tops can be replanted for a fuller result. More light and CO₂ enhance the red color. Liquid fertilizer like Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter's Tip
Plant in groups of 5–7 stems for the best effect. Combines well with fresh green plants for maximum color contrast in the midground or background.
