Description
Blyxa japonica is a popular rosette plant that looks like a tuft of grass, with fine, narrow leaves radiating from a short stem to form a neat, bushy clump. Under strong light Blyxa japonica develops warm golden-bronze and reddish tones, and grouped together it makes a beautiful mid-ground meadow in a nature aquascape.
Blyxa japonica grows best with good light, CO₂ and soft, slightly acidic water, where it stays compact and colourful; in leaner conditions it grows greener and looser. Plant each clump of Blyxa japonica separately in a nutrient-rich substrate, as it feeds heavily through its roots, and it will multiply by producing side shoots into a dense stand.
A little demanding but very rewarding, Blyxa japonica suits improving and experienced aquascapers and is safe for shrimp and community tanks. Its grassy clumps shelter shrimp and fry, so add Blyxa japonica for a soft, golden-green mid-ground texture.
