Planting it
Plant the stems directly in nutrient-rich substrate. Bury the roots and keep the stems and leaves exposed. Space the stems out to allow bushy growth.
Trimming and replanting
Trim every 1–2 weeks in good conditions to keep the shape. Cut above a leaf node and replant the tops as new plants, since cuttings root within days.
Feeding
It’s a heavy root feeder, so add root tabs every 2–3 months. Remove lower leaves that become shaded and begin to melt.
