GRATIOLA VISCIDULA – 1-2-Grow! Tropica Aquarium Plant, Unique Look and Easy Growth
GRATIOLA VISCIDULA is an aquarium plant originating from North America, relatively new to the aquascaping hobby. It features a slightly "spiny" appearance when submerged, making it easily recognizable and highly appreciated for its original contribution to aquarium layouts.
Fairly easy to grow, Gratiola viscidula prefers bright lighting conditions and can be maintained very low with regular trimming, eventually forming a dense green carpet. Each stem is about 1-2 cm wide and can grow over 10 cm tall if left untrimmed.
As with all Tropica 1-2-Grow! plants, Gratiola viscidula is supplied in sterile tissue culture, free from snails, algae, and pesticides, making it completely safe for sensitive shrimp and fish.
Key features:
Origin: North America

How to use:
