Product Description
This live freshwater aquarium plant introduces stunning crimson and deep olive-green contrast to your aquascape. Grown by CantonAquatics, this versatile stem plant is perfect for creating lush midground or background walls in your fish tank. It is an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists seeking a vibrant underwater ecosystem without complex maintenance requirements. The plant readily thrives in medium to high lighting conditions and functions perfectly in low-tech setups without mandatory carbon dioxide injection. It acts as a natural oxygenator while providing essential shelter for fish and shrimp. Ideal water parameters include a temperature range of 20 to 28 degrees Celsius, water hardness of 3 to 8 dGH, and a pH between 6.0 and 8.0. Under higher light intensity, it develops its most intense dark red coloration. This bare-root stem plant arrives ready for planting in a nutrient-rich or medium-grained substrate to promote healthy root development. It is highly adaptable and propagates easily through standard stem cuttings, which encourages bushy branching growth and prevents lower leaf loss.
