Tropica Myriophyllum Mattogrossense 1-2-Grow!

Description

Myriophyllum matogrossense originates from Mato Grosso in the Rio Amazonas, Brazil. It has decorative and feather-like, reddish stems (30-60 cm long) and finely divided bright green leaves (5 cm wide).
In good light conditions the leaves spread out in a fan shape. Myriophyllum is relatively easy and is suitable for the background. It needs frequent trims to maintain its bushy form. It is fast growing and requires a good deal of nutrition.
A good starter plant.

Tropica Myriophyllum Mattogrossense 1-2-Grow! in SG Tanks

This 1-2-Grow! cup delivers Myriophyllum mattogrossense as lab-grown, snail- and algae-free tissue culture, ready to split into many small portions for a feathery green background. The fine, divided foliage adds soft movement and contrast against broad-leaved plants, and in good light the tops fan out attractively. Because it’s a fast grower, it also helps soak up nutrients early in a new scape, competing with algae while your tank matures.

It’s a rewarding background stem, though it does want decent light and steady nutrition to stay bushy rather than leggy; in lower-tech Singapore tanks, expect leaner growth and trim regularly to encourage side shoots. Replant the healthy tops after each trim to keep the stand dense and even. Starting from tissue culture also means you avoid importing pest snails into a clean setup.
