Category: Aquarium Plants

Staurogyne repens is a fresh green, compact and hardy plant for the foreground of the aquarium and it was found in the 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 3.4 cm wide). When 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.
At low light, the growth will be more upright and much less side shoots will be formed.

Miles ★★★★★

I was a bit worried about planting it in my low-tech tank, but this Staurogyne repens has been surprisingly resilient and is already sending out runners along the gravel. The compact, bright green leaves look great against the substrate.

Hannah G. ★★★★★

This little plant arrived looking fresh and healthy, and the bright green color really pops against my darker substrate. It's stayed compact just like the description promised, which is exactly what I needed for my foreground.

Samuel ★★★★★

Took a few days to settle in, but the compact growth pattern is exactly what I needed for the foreground—it's staying low and bushy instead of shooting up. The fresh green color hasn't faded under my light, and it's already holding its own against the harder water in my tank. Hardy is right, it's be
