Planting & Care Tips

Plant Myriophyllum Green stems individually in suitable aquarium substrate, leaving enough space between stems for light penetration and water circulation. Grouping several stems together can create a fuller, more attractive background.

Provide suitable lighting, balanced nutrients and stable water conditions for healthy foliage. CO₂ supplementation may encourage more vigorous growth, while regular fertilisation helps maintain the plant's green colour.

Trim the stems when they become too tall or begin shading neighbouring plants. Healthy cuttings can be replanted to expand your plant group and create a dense, natural-looking aquascape.
