Tropica 1-2 Grow Heteranthera zosterifolia

Heteranthera zosterifolia, originating from South America, is an exquisite plant that rapidly develops into a dense cluster through the abundant growth of side shoots. The plant’s stems can reach heights of 30-50 cm and widths of 6-12 cm, while its leaves often exhibit a striking black coloration on their undersides.

Under strong lighting conditions, the plant experiences vigorous growth, necessitating regular pruning to prevent the lower leaves from being deprived of light. Additionally, water roots tend to form along the stem, which can be effortlessly propagated by cutting and replanting. In open aquarium environments, the plant may even produce small, captivating blue flowers if permitted to extend shoots across the water’s surface.
