Staurogyne <\/span><\/i>repens is a South American small stem plant known for its low bushy size, fresh and brilliant green leaves, slow but consistent growth, resilience, and capacity to carpet. This plant is perfect for beginners as a foreground or ground cover plant because it tolerates a broad range of water conditions and can last several weeks without needing to be trimmed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Staurogyne <\/span><\/i>repens feed mostly from the ground. That is, the majority of its sustenance comes straight from the substrate. This could be a mix of small pebbles and aquarium soil, or it could just be aquarium soil.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was discovered in the southern Amazonas’ Rio Cristalino. The closest relative in the aquarist is Hygrophila<\/em>, however, Staurogyne<\/em> is distinguished by its compact, low, and bushy stature (5-10 cm) and leaves that are 3.4 cm wide on each stem. The longest upright stems should be clipped off during aquarium planting, and new horizontally creeping shoots will emerge from the plant base and eventually colonize the gravel. Staurogyne<\/em> Repens Tropica TC is a robust and vital plant that thrives in medium to high light with CO\u2082 supplementation.<\/span><\/p>\n
