Staurogyne repens, a popular slow-growing plant from Brazil, belongs to the acanthus family and is a favourite 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 which pairs beautifully with Hemianthus calltrichoidesn 'Cuba'. Its resilience and easy maintenance make it a great choice for both beginners and experienced aquascapers.
