Staurogyne repens

Staurogyne repens, a popular slow-growing plant from Brazil, belongs to the acanthus family and is a favorite among aquascapers in the UK. Known for its compact growth, this versatile foreground plant adds a lush, green touch to any aquascape. It shares similarities with Hygrophila, making it perfect for pairing with Hemianthus callitrichoides (Cuba) in aquascaping setups.

To thrive, Staurogyne repens requires high light levels and nutrient-rich conditions. Regular trimming of its shoots not only promotes dense, horizontal growth but also helps maintain an attractive and healthy carpet in your tank. Ideal for planted tanks, its resilience and easy maintenance make it a great choice for both beginners and experienced aquascapers.

Key features:

• Slow-growing, compact, and ideal for aquascaping foregrounds
• Requires high lighting and nutrient supplementation
• Pairs beautifully with HC Cuba for a balanced aquascape
• Responds well to regular trimming, promoting bushy, horizontal growth
