Staurogyne repens


This hardy, small stem plant grows short, teardrop shaped bright green leaves. It spreads via horizontal creeping shoots which are encouraged by topping and replanting the longest main stems. In this way, Staurogyne “Repens” can be used to create dense carpets quickly in both high tech and low tech aquariums.

This plant is easy to grow, requiring moderate lighting and regular fertilisation or nutritious substrate. CO2 injection is not required but will help create more bushy and rapid growth of stems.

Staurogyne repens is a fresh green, compact and hardy plant for the foreground of the aquarium and it was found in River Rio Cristalino in the southern Amazonas. Its nearest relative in the aquaristic is Hygrophila but Staurogyne is different with its marked compact, low and bushy stature (5-10 cm) and small green leaves (each stem is 2-3 cm wide). During 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. ​
