Staurogyne repens in jar - Tropica

Staurogyne Repens is a fresh, compact and resistant green plant for the aquarium close-up and was found in the Rio Cristalino river in southern amazonas.

His closest relative in aquarium is Hygrophila, but Staurogyne differs for its marked compact, low and bushy stature (5-10 cm) and small green leaves (each stem is 3.4 cm wide). When you plant in the aquarium, the longer buds in a vertical position must be cut and new horizontal creeping sprouts will soon form from the base of the plant and gradually colonize the gravel.

In low light conditions, growth will be more erect and will form fewer side shoots.
