Staurogyne Repens

Staurogyne Repens: Green-leaf aquarium plant for foreground coverage and trimmed freshwater aquascapes.

Staurogyne Repens is an easy-to-care-for aquatic plant that is highly recommended for beginners. Its light green leaves and thin stems make it a great choice for aquascaping. Staurogyne Repens is ideal for providing foreground coverage and can be used to create mid-ground and background features.

Its natural growth form makes it ideal for use as a foreground or midground accent in the aquarium. Its easy care and low light requirements make it an accessible option for both seasoned and beginner hobbyists. It can grow pretty tall so we recommend planting it in the background of the aquarium. It propagates easily like any other stem plant by replanting its trimmings back into the substrate.

We sell these plants in lead bunches. Please remove foam surrounding the roots of the plant prior to planting in to substrate.

Before adding to your aquarium

Remove the shipping packaging and any pot, planting wool, or weights as appropriate. Rinse and inspect the plant, and quarantine new plants separately before introduction. Choose planting depth and substrate for the species. Keep rooted crowns and bulbs from being buried too deeply, and remove damaged leaves during establishment.

Match temperature and lighting to the plant and your livestock. This listing is part of our general freshwater plant range; browse our axolotl plant selection for more focused options.
