MURDANNIA KEISAK – Fast-Growing Stem Plant with Bamboo-Like Appearance, Ideal for Mid and Large Aquariums
Murdannia keisak is a fast-growing aquatic stem plant native to Asia, where it often thrives in rice fields and wetland areas. Known for its slender, bamboo-like appearance, it adds a vertical, decorative element to freshwater aquariums. While not a true grass, its erect growth habit and light green leaves make it an attractive background or mid-ground plant in natural aquascapes.
The plant grows upright but readily branches out when trimmed. Leaves are narrow and pointed, about 1 cm wide and 3–5 cm long, and develop a reddish hue under strong lighting and CO₂ supplementation. Due to its rapid growth, Murdannia keisak benefits from frequent pruning to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage bushy, varied clusters.
