HETERANTHERA ZOSTERIFOLIA – Bright Green Stem Plant for Aquariums, Fast Growing
HETERANTHERA ZOSTERIFOLIA is a striking stem plant known for its bright green, narrow leaves that grow up to 5 cm long in an alternate pattern along the stem. With strong lighting and CO₂ fertilization, it develops rapidly with a compact growth habit. Regular trimming is recommended to encourage bushier growth and maintain shape.
Native to South America, it was observed growing naturally in the crystal-clear waters of the Rio da Prata in Brazil, thriving even at depths of 2 meters. In aquariums, it serves as an excellent midground or background plant and creates vivid visual contrast when combined with red species like Rotala rotundifolia.
