Stoffels Staurogyne Repens In-vitro
The Staurogyne repens is a popular low-growing aquatic plant known for its bright green, compact leaves and bushy growth. It is highly versatile and can be used as a foreground plant or for filling spaces between rocks and hardscapes in aquascapes. Grown in-vitro, this plant arrives pest-free, algae-free, and ready for immediate planting in your aquarium.
Key Features:
- Compact Growth: Staurogyne repens is known for its short, bushy growth, making it an ideal choice for the foreground or as a midground filler around rocks and hardscapes.
- Easy to Care For: This hardy plant adapts well to a variety of conditions, making it suitable for beginners while still being a favorite among seasoned aquascapers.
- In-Vitro Cultivation: Grown in sterile conditions, the plant is free from pests, algae, and contaminants, ensuring a healthy start for your aquarium.
- Versatile Aquascaping: Whether used for carpeting the foreground or filling gaps between hardscapes, Staurogyne repens brings a fresh, green look to aquascapes.
Care Requirements:
- Lighting: Staurogyne repens thrives under medium to high lighting conditions, which help maintain its compact and bushy growth. Insufficient light may result in leggy, uneven growth.
