Description

Staurogyne Repens in a very special aquarium plant. The characteristic that makes this plant unique is that very few stem plants have its creeping or mat-forming habit. Because of this characteristic, Staurogyne Repens can be attached to rocks or wood and used in areas of the aquarium that other stem plants cannot. CO2 injection and the use of a substrate fertilizer tab will help yield better growth.

Please be sure to remove this plant from its pot. Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant into a quality substrate.
