Heteranthera zosterifolia 1-2-Grow!

Heteranthera zosterifolia from South America is an extremely beautiful plant that forms many lateral shoots and thus quickly forms a clump of shrubby plants.

The stems can reach 30-50 cm in height and 6-12 cm in width. The leaves are usually black on the underside. In strong light, growth is vigorous, and the plant should be pruned before it becomes so compact that no light reaches the lower leaves. Water roots usually form on the stem. These are easily cut and replanted.

In open aquariums, it forms small blue flowers if some buds spread across the surface.
