Stargrass live plants for decoration and fish stimulation

- Bushy live Heteranthera plant for freshwater aquariums
- Easy to grow with a high growth rate
- Proportioned 10-15cm plants
Heteranthera zosterifolia from South America is an extremely beautiful plant, which forms a lot of side shoots and thus quickly forms a bushy plant group.
Known by its common name Stargrass, its stems can become 30-50 cm tall and 6-12 cm wide. Leaves often become black on the back. In strong light growth is intensive, and the plant must be pruned before it becomes so compact that no light reaches the lower leaves. Water roots often form on the stem. Those are easily cut and replanted.
In open aquariums, it forms small blue flowers if some shoots are allowed to spread on the surface.
