3. Fertilization: Regular feeding to enhance color
To maintain plant density and vibrant colors:
Use a balanced fertilizer containing approximately equal proportions of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium).
Fertilize every ten days; this provides the plant with the nutrients it needs for healthy, attractive leaf growth.
4. Pruning: Enhancing density and attractive appearance
Regular pruning helps maintain the plant’s aesthetic appearance:
Remove flowers as soon as they appear, as they consume the plant’s energy and interfere with the growth of the leaves, which are the most attractive part of the carpet.
If you notice excessively long stems, trim them to encourage the plant to branch laterally, which enhances its density and gives it a rounded, full appearance.
