Staurogyne repens “Variegated” is a variation of the classic S. repens that features bright green leaves marbled with cream and white hues. Its compact growth under higher lighting and signature foliage add contrast and bushy texture to midground areas of a planted aquarium.

Like the standard form, this aquatic plant grows low and gradually forms dense groups when regularly trimmed and replanted. With good lighting and stable water conditions, S. repens is a fantastic choice for creating a natural transition between carpeting plants like Monte Carlo or dwarf hairgrass and taller background plants in planted aquariums.

While generally considered an approachable plant to grow, variegated forms tend to develop more slowly due to reduced chlorophyll. Start with medium lighting levels, dose a complete aquarium plant fertilizer, and inject CO2 to encourage healthier, more compact growth. In setups where lighting is too low, the plant may become leggy, indicating that light levels should be increased.

Pairs Well With
- Fine-textured carpeting plants to contrast its broader, variegated leaves
- Stone-based hardscape layouts like Seiryu Stone or Iwagumi aquascapes where its compact growth can form bushy groups along the base

About Our Live Aquatic Plants

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.

About Our Tissue Culture Plants

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.
