JUNCUS REPENS – Red-Tinted Foreground Plant from Tropica 1-2-Grow! Line
Juncus repens is a slow-growing, stem-based aquatic plant native to the wetlands of the southeastern United States. Known for its adaptability and unique coloration, it shifts from green under moderate light to a striking copper-red hue when exposed to stronger lighting and sufficient micronutrients, making it ideal for natural layouts and creative aquascapes.
This plant is easy to maintain and propagate, growing steadily and predictably without requiring advanced care. Though it may be slightly sensitive to green algae, this issue is avoidable with balanced lighting and nutrient control. Juncus repens works well as a foreground or midground plant and brings structure and visual contrast to planted tanks.
The Tropica 1-2-Grow! version is cultivated in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring that the plant is completely free of snails, algae, and pesticides. This makes it perfectly safe for aquariums with sensitive fish or shrimp species.
