Description
Heteranthera zosteraefolia, known as stargrass, is a fast-growing stem plant with slim, grassy green leaves that radiate from the stem to give a loose, feathery look. Planted densely, Heteranthera zosteraefolia forms a soft green thicket in the mid-to-background that moves beautifully in the flow of a planted tank.
Heteranthera zosteraefolia is adaptable and grows quickly even in low-tech tanks, with CO₂ and bright light producing tighter, more side-shooting growth. Plant Heteranthera zosteraefolia in bunches, trim the vigorous tops often, and replant the cuttings; its rapid growth makes it a strong competitor against algae in young tanks.
Easy and vigorous, Heteranthera zosteraefolia is well suited to beginners and to community and shrimp tanks, where its fine foliage shelters fry and shrimp. Add Heteranthera zosteraefolia when you want quick, grassy green fill and natural movement.
