Staurogyne Repens is a low-growing aquatic plant that originates from South America. Typically shortened to S. Repens, Staurogyne Repens is a popular midground aquatic plant choice in planted tanks for its naturally bushy, compact growth pattern and bright green color. This aquarium plant has a smaller leaf size making it a suitable choice for nano-sized aquariums. These factors make Staurogyne Repens an all around popular plant for aquascaping. Staurogyne Repens grows respective to the environment it is planted in so it is best to be mindful of conditions such as lighting, nutrients and CO2 injection. Depending on the aquarium, Staurogyne Repens has also been used as a foreground aquarium plant. However, this application will require more frequent pruning to maintain the desired look!

We recommend medium to high lighting to keep this plant low-growing and bushy. CO2 injection is also favorable to promote quicker, more robust growth. Propagation is simple and can be done by trimming along the stems and replanting into a quality, nutrient-dense aquarium soil.

Aquarium plants can vary in growth form and may require time to transition to your aquarium environment, whether grown submerged or emersed. This transition period is a natural part of establishing healthy, long-term growth in planted aquariums.

From carpeting plants in the foreground to stem plants and larger species used in the midground or background, each plant offers a unique contribution to a balanced and natural aquascape. As plants adapt, it is normal to see minor changes such as leaf melt, color shifts, or new growth patterns as they settle into their new conditions.

We carefully inspect and prepare all live aquatic plants prior to shipping. While we do our best to minimize hitchhikers, we cannot guarantee plants to be completely pest or snail-free unless tissue culture options are selected.

Because live plants are perishable, some signs of transit stress may occur, including leaf loss or cosmetic damage. These are typically temporary and when when healthy roots are present, most plants will recover with proper care.

Tissue culture aquarium plants are grown in sterile, laboratory conditions, ensuring they are free from pests, algae, and snails. These young plants are cultivated in nutrient-rich gel and are grown in emersed form before being introduced into the aquarium.

Tissue culture plants are best for aquascapers looking for clean, controlled plant material, especially for shrimp tanks or sensitive setups. Before planting, the gel media should be gently removed, and the plant can be divided into smaller portions for planting.

With proper care, tissue culture plants transition quickly and establish into healthy submerged growth.

Our favorite carpeting plant!!!!

"This is easily our favorite carpeting plant. We have some in our larger tank, and we knew we wanted it for our fully planted betta tank. This tissue culture we received was a lot stemmier than our other tissue culture we got a few months ago from our LFS. However, this did not detract from the quality. This plant has exploded in our tank and looks fantastic. Packaging was nice as well, came in a little hard plastic container that we've been reusing for other various things like medication dosing for our tanks and moving snails around. Absolutely recommend this repens!"
