STAUROGYNE REPENS Foreground Plant - 5 Stems (may be clustered)

Staurogyne Repens Portion Size :  Around 5 healthy and clean stems (may be naturally clustered meaning some stems may be joint - but you can still easily spit them if you need to plant seperately)
For example, the 5 stems may be in the form of a cluster of 3 stems joint together and another cluster of 2 stems for example. You can easily split them to 5 individual stems if you like and then plant to cover a 5cm area

Staurogyne Repens is a very popular foreground plant that originates from the Rio Cristalino river,  in the southern Amazonas. 

The stock sold by Aquarzon are aquarium submersed grown or TC to aquarium transitioning stock which are very much better than the regular emersed stock.

Most Staurogyne Repens / Staurogyne Repens Tropica sold in the market are emersed grown which does not transition to aquarium as well. Emersed grown stock can go through melting process when it is planted into the aquarium which pollute aquarium water by raising dissolved organics level which can then trigger algae issues..

It is an easy foreground plant which is suitable for both low tech and high tech tanks. Due to its low growing habit, many hobbyists like to use it as a foreground plant by grouping together several short stems to form a beautiful cluster that appears like a bush in a forest.

It has a bright green colour tone and can be easily propagated by cutting and replanting.

According to the publication "Rediscovery of Staurogyne repens (Acanthaceae) in the wild after 115 years" (Cambridge University Press), this plant is believed to be extinct for 115 years before being rediscovered in 2021. (credit: John M K- for sharing this publication info/link)

This is one of several plants (like certain Bucephalandra species) which hobbyists might feel is common (which is true in the aquarium trade) but in the wild, is not commonly occurring and can be close to the point of near extinction in its original habitat.

This plant grown by Aquarzon is 100% submersed grown indoor and is very clean, free from weeds and outdoor pests. It is not tissue culture or emersed grown stock which can suffer transitional melting issues when planted in an aquarium. Our indoor submersed grown stock is in very healthy condition and ready to be planted straight in an aquarium.
