HETERANTHERA ZOSTERIFOLIA – Fast-Growing Stem Plant 1-2-Grow! for Freshwater Aquariums
Heteranthera zosterifolia is a spectacular stem plant from South America, highly valued for its rapid growth and ability to quickly form dense, bushy groups. Under strong lighting conditions, this plant produces numerous lateral shoots, creating a voluminous and natural effect within the aquarium. Due to its vigorous growth, it requires frequent trimming to maintain a neat and compact shape.
Reaching heights of 30–50 cm and widths of 6–12 cm, Heteranthera zosterifolia is perfect for the midground or background areas of the aquarium. It often develops roots along its stems, enhancing stability and natural appearance. In open aquariums, it can surprise aquarists with the blooming of small, delicate blue flowers, adding a unique ornamental touch.
The 1-2-Grow! version by Tropica guarantees in vitro-cultivated plants, free from snails, algae, and pesticides, making them completely safe for sensitive shrimp and ornamental fish.
