Expert Tips from School Of Scape

For the most vibrant orange-red coloration, provide high lighting and consistent CO2 injection. Regular fertilization with iron and micronutrients is essential for maintaining intense warm colors. Trim regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent leggy stems. This plant responds beautifully to nutrient-rich substrates and creates stunning contrast when planted alongside green or purple plants.
