Description
Juncus repens is a charming grassy rush that grows both submerged and emersed, producing tufts of narrow, blade-like leaves. In the aquarium Juncus repens stays relatively low and spreads by runners, making it a lovely textured foreground to mid-ground plant that softens hardscape edges.
Growing Juncus repens is easy and undemanding. It accepts low to high light and both low-tech and CO₂ tanks, rooting firmly into aquasoil or fine gravel. Under brighter light the tips of Juncus repens can take on attractive red-bronze hues; divide and replant the clumps to spread Juncus repens across the layout.
Calm and slow enough to stay tidy, Juncus repens suits beginners and patient aquascapers who want a grassy texture without the demands of true carpets. It is entirely safe for shrimp, betta and community tanks, and Juncus repens gives small fish and shrimplets welcome cover among its fine blades.
