Nesaea pedicellata has been around for many years although not very easy to find in the US trade. It is native to West Africa and has yellowish green colored leaves with brown stems. Nesaea pedicellata 'Golden' was discovered as a variegated sport of Nesaea pedicellata. After growing and selecting the stems a solid gold form was identified and named Nesaea pedicellata 'Golden'. Unlike its parent, Nesaea pedicellata 'Golden' is extremely eye catching with bright gold leaves and a hot pink stem.

Nesaea pedicellata is native to west Africa and is relatively easy to grow in an aquarium. It tolerates both hard or soft water and prefers a temperature between 70 and 78 degrees. It prefers medium to high lighting and a nutritious substrate. N. pedicellata 'Golden' shares these characteristics which make it a nice colorful addition to any aquarium. There are very few gold colored plants in the aquarium trade so the addition of Nesaea pedicellata 'Gold' will help aquascapers around the world to add more color and diversity to their planted aquaria.

Plant arrived in great shape and has the coloring just as described - light gold leaves with pink stems that really set it apart from the other plants.

More sickly looking than golden...	June 7, 2009
Reviewer: Ed from Niagara Falls, NY United States

looked alright when it came but had some holes in the leaves & was browning when it arrived, needless to say it was a pile of goo within 3 days in my aquarium.

Beautiful Plant, but...	May 31, 2009
Reviewer: william hines from clinton, NC United States

This plant was just beautiful in my aquarium.
It broke up the color of all the green plants I had and made the tank look beautiful.
However, my fish ate this plant completely up within a matter of days.
The leaves on it are not too sturdy, the come off very easily.
This isn't great for a beginner, but it is a very beautiful plant.
