Staurogyne Repens AED 30.00
Staurogyne repens originates from South America and has become popular in the hobby due to its versatility in aquascaping. It is a short green stem plant that forms dense bushes under higher light levels. Its ability to be pruned into nice contours and short height makes it great for aquascaping. It blends easily with other plants and is useful in aquascapes that want to express a sense of natural mixing of plants. Higher light levels cause the plant to spread sideways to surrounding areas with a creeping stem, while lower light levels cause the plant to grow vertical with longer internodes like a typical stem plant. In crowded conditions, the plant will also grow more upright.

Rotala Macrandra AED 30.00
Rotala macrandra originates from India and has been cultivated in aquariums since the early days due to its attractive foliage. It is a fast growing stem plant that has the reputation of being a picky plant to grow well. Rotala macrandra has larger leaves and is pickier to grow compared to the more commonly found Rotala rotundifolia and is best used in the mid or background of a tank. Its leaves are delicate and are easily broken with rough handling. Most varietals branch readily when growth requirements are fulfilled, which allows them to become dense bushes.
