✂️ Care
Plant the stems in groups in the midground or background. Plenty of light and warmer temperatures (24–28°C) are essential for the most beautiful color and compact growth. CO₂ is strongly recommended. Prune regularly; cut off tops can be replanted. Liquid fertilizer like Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planter Tip
The pink-purple hue on the underside of the leaves provides a unique color accent in the background. Combines beautifully with bright green plants for maximum contrast.
