GLOSSOSTIGMA ELATINOIDES – Foreground Carpet Plant for Japanese-Style Aquascaping
Glossostigma elatinoides is a highly popular foreground aquarium plant from New Zealand, widely used in Japanese-style aquascaping. It’s one of the smallest aquatic plant species, growing to just 2-3 cm in height and forming a compact, decorative carpet when cultivated under the right conditions. To achieve the best results, strong lighting is essential, as the plant tends to grow vertically under low light. Adding CO₂ and maintaining high-quality freshwater greatly enhances its growth. For optimal coverage, plant small clumps spaced apart to encourage horizontal spread. Avoid shading from taller plants to ensure even development.
