✂️ Care
Gently rinse the gel under lukewarm water and plant the stems in the mid or background. Plenty of light and CO₂ are essential for the orange/red leaf color — without sufficient light, the leaves will remain green. Prune the tops regularly for optimal growth and branching. Liquid fertilizer like Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planting tip
Regularly prune the tops — this encourages branching and produces the most beautiful feathery leaves. The orange/red color makes this plant a real eye-catcher in any aquascape.
❓ Frequently asked questions
My leaves stay green — what's wrong?
