Staurogyne Repens is a fresh green, compact and hardy plant for the foreground of the aquarium. Found in the River Rio Cristalino in the southern Amazonas, its nearest relative is Hygrophila but Staurogyne is different with its marked compact, low and bushy stature of around 5-10cm and small green leaves, each stem is 3.4cm wide. When planting in the aquarium, the longest upright shoots should be cut off and new, horizontally creeping shoots will soon form from the plant basis and gradually colonize the gravel. At low light, the growth will be more upright and much less side shoots will be formed. Tropica 1-2-Grow Tissue Culture PlantsSmall plants with great success.
