Staurogyne Repens Clumps Live Aquarium Plants

Staurogyne repens is a common foreground plant in high-quality freshwater aquariums. It will grow into a lush green carpet that will cover the entire foreground of the aquarium with time and proper care. It is also useful for covering rocks and driftwood. It is extremely simple to keep and spread. While Staurogyne repens is not a difficult plant to grow, it does require proper watering and maintenance to thrive. It requires a nutrient-rich, loose substrate as well as full-spectrum lighting.

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 vertically with longer internodes like a typical stem plant. In crowded conditions, the plant will also grow more upright.

As it is not as fast-growing as other common stem plants, it can be easily shaded by more aggressive growers. Thus, it is best positioned in the mid or foreground of the tank with some spacing from surrounding plants, where it can receive unobstructed light.
