PERSICARIA SP. ‘SAO PAULO’ – Aquarium Plant with Intense Magenta Vertical Growth
Persicaria sp. ‘Sao Paulo’ is arguably one of the most stunning aquarium plants available, renowned for its vivid magenta coloration, a rare hue among aquatic plants. While its emersed form shows muted tones, once submerged it transforms, producing striking magenta leaves and shoots. With slender, bamboo-like stems, it grows vertically, making it perfect for the midground or as a focal point in aquascaping layouts.
This plant thrives under intense lighting and benefits greatly from CO₂ supplementation to bring out its vibrant colors. It grows at a medium-fast rate and can easily extend above the water surface, where it loves to bloom. Regular trimming and replanting of apical or lateral shoots help maintain its compact, lush appearance.
