Staurogyne repens | Compact Foreground Plant In Vitro

Staurogyne repens is an extremely popular compact-growing foreground and midground plant that impresses with its strong, lush green leaves and its low, bushy growth. It is ideal for transition areas, open aquascapes, and as a structural contrast between ground covers and taller plants.

Thanks to its stable growth, Staurogyne repens remains shapely and dense even with regular trimming.
This plant is supplied InVitro in a sterile cup and is therefore 100% free of snails, algae, and pesticides – ideal for shrimp, nano, and aquascaping tanks. After thoroughly rinsing the nutrient gel, it can be divided into several small portions and planted.
