Category: Aquarium Plants

Glossostigma elatinoides from New Zealand is much in demand in Japanese-inspired aquariums. It is one of the smallest aquarium plants (2-3 cm tall), and thus a good foreground plant. A difficult plant demanding a lot of light. Grows upwards if light is poor. Make sure larger plants do not overshadow it. When planting in the aquarium small clumps (approx. 1/8 pot) should be placed at intervals of a few centimetres to help the plants grow together more quickly. CO2 addition and soft water promote growth significantly.

Natalie ★★★★★

For such a tiny plant, the growth really surprised me — I’ve seen new leaves forming on the runners within just a week of planting it in my setup. It stays low at about 2 cm, making it perfect for that Japanese-style carpet look I was aiming for.

Abigail H. ★★★★★

It’s tiny but after a couple weeks in my low-tech tank those little leaves started carpeting the front. The growth is slow but it’s forming a nice dense mat just like the description said.

Isabella Q. ★★★★★

Finally got this to carpet properly in my high-tech tank; those tiny 2-3 cm leaves really do create that perfect foreground look I was after. It was tricky to get established, but now it's spreading nicely and the detail is stunning.
