Staurogyne repens – The Perfect Groundcover for Your Planted Aquarium

Staurogyne repens is a popular and versatile aquarium plant prized for its compact growth, vibrant green leaves, and ease of care. Native to South America, particularly around the Rio Cristalino in Brazil, this hardy species is a favorite among aquascapers for creating lush, low-growing carpets in planted aquariums and nature aquariums.

Key Features, Benefits, and Propagation:

  • Compact, Low-Growing Habit: Forms a dense, bushy carpet that enhances the natural look of any aquascape.

  • Bright Green Foliage: Adds vibrant color and freshness to freshwater tanks and underwater landscapes.

  • Perfect for Foreground Planting: Ideal for foregrounds and low-lying areas, helping create depth and contrast in your layout.

  • Easy Propagation: Propagates by cutting healthy stems and replanting them directly into the substrate, encouraging rapid spread.

  • Thrives with Moderate Light and CO₂: Best results with moderate to high lighting and CO₂ supplementation but can adapt to low-tech setups with slower growth.

  • Fish and Shrimp Friendly: Provides excellent cover and grazing areas for small fish, shrimp, and fry.

Why Choose Staurogyne repens for Your Aquarium?

If you're looking to create a rich, vibrant carpet or fill out the lower levels of your planted aquarium, Staurogyne repens is an outstanding choice. Its sturdy stems and broad leaves hold up well even in active fish tanks, and its easy-care nature makes it accessible to both beginners and experienced aquascapers. Whether used to build rolling green fields in a nature aquarium or to accentuate rock and wood hardscape, Staurogyne repens delivers reliability, beauty, and a strong visual impact.

Transform your aquascape with the lush, inviting greenery of Staurogyne repens — a cornerstone plant for any thriving freshwater aquarium.

        WHAT WE CAN'T GUARANTEE

        Even though our plants are very clean, but we can't guarantee they will be 100% pest-free because we cannot be responsible for your aquarium. Please use it at your own risk. We recommended all customers rinse the plants with clean water and quarantine them before use.

        However, plants in tissue culture will be 100% free from pests, algae and never have been contacting with any aquarium.

        1. Due to the nature of the product. We don't guarantee our plants will be pests free. ( snails, algae, hitchhikers )
        2. We don't guarantee our plants will be free of pesticides. We use homemade, organic pesticides in our greenhouse to control pests. We do not use pesticides that contain copper. Copper is toxic to invertebrates such as aquatic snails, crabs, shrimps, etc
        3. We don't guarantee your aquarium success or are responsible for your aquarium inhabitant including but not limited to fish, shrimp, snail, turtle, etc. So please quarantine all plants when use!
        4. Unless specific, we don't guarantee aquatic plants will be grow emerged or submerge.

        Please review your state's regulations on restricted plants, as we are committed to not shipping plants that are restricted in your area. Do not release any plants into the wild or waterways, as this can harm local ecosystems by introducing invasive species.
