MYRIOPHYLLUM MATTOGROSSENSE – Fast-Growing Background Plant for Freshwater Aquariums
Myriophyllum mattogrossense is a stem plant native to the Mato Grosso region of the Amazon in Brazil, known for its reddish stems and finely divided bright green leaves. It grows 30–60 cm tall, creating a soft and flowing backdrop in freshwater aquariums that adds a sense of depth and natural movement.
Under strong lighting, the leaves open into a fan shape, enhancing the plant’s visual impact. This species grows quickly and vigorously, making it ideal for newly established aquariums, where it helps balance nutrients and stabilize the environment. To maintain a compact, bushy form, frequent trimming is recommended, which also encourages lateral shoots and fuller growth.
