**Hottonia – The versatile stem plant for beginners**
Hottonia, a stem plant found in both Asia and Europe, is ideal for beginners as it is undemanding and easy to care for. The plant quickly forms dense groups of many, beautifully curved shoots with lobed, intensely light green leaves. Each stem reaches a width of 4 - 6 cm and grows 10 - 30 cm high.
**Maintenance and design:**
Regularly pruning the longest shoots keeps the plant bushy and promotes strong new growth from below. Its broad growth habit makes it a perfect transition plant between low and tall plants, while its light green color creates attractive contrasts in aquarium landscapes.
