The classic "three sisters" are surrounded by the plants Limnophila Hippuridoides, Penthorum Sedoides, Eleocharis Parvula and Rotala 'Bonsai'.
Penthorum has to be trimmed massively and frequently, in order to create many compact side shoots with smaller and compact leaves.
The uneven and wild prairie layout is created by using regularly trimmed Eleocharis Parvula in the front.

Note: Plant B on the drawing is Penthorum Sedoides which is no longer produced by Tropica. Can be replaced with Staurogyne repens or another stem plant.
