STAUROGYNE REPENS
This attractive plant variety from Brazil is called Staurogyne repens, a member of the acanthus family. It looks a bit like a miniature Hygrophila but is a great foreground plant. It grows very slowly and, in good conditions, will crawl along the substrate. Staurogyne requires bright light and a good supply of nutrients through the substrate. Regularly cutting the shoot tips will force the plant to push out many new horizontal shoots and will eventually give you a very nice and bushy grove of plants. For aquascaping purposes, these beauties mix well with Hemianthus callitrichoides.
