Vallisneria spiralis ‘Red’

Transform your aquarium floor into a lush, vibrant underwater meadow with Aquascapeplants Staurogyne repens. Originally discovered in the fast-flowing waters of the Rio Cristalino in Brazil, Staurogyne repens (commonly known as S. repens) has quickly become one of the most sought-after and beloved foreground plants in modern aquascaping.

​With its bright, compact, and spade-shaped light-green leaves, S. repens is a highly versatile stem plant. Under moderate to high lighting, it hugs the substrate to form a low, dense, and naturally creeping carpet. It is also incredibly effective at filling gaps, nestling into hardscape crevices, or softening the transition between stones and driftwood in classic Iwagumi layouts.

​Whether you are a beginner looking for a forgiving carpeting species or an advanced scaper shaping a detailed midground bush, this premium portion from Aquascapeplants delivers outstanding quality and healthy, robust roots.

​Why Choose Aquascapeplants Staurogyne repens?

• ​Lush Bushy Growth: Easily trimmed and sculpted to form dense, low-growing cushions or a seamless carpet.
• ​Exceptional Hardiness: Extremely adaptable to a wide range of water parameters, making it highly forgiving compared to other demanding carpet plants.
• ​Natural Filtration: Effectively absorbs excess nitrates and nutrients from your water column, actively combating algae and keeping your tank crystal clear.
• ​Versatile Placement: Ideal as a foreground carpet, a midground transition plant, or tucked into crevices between rocks and driftwood.
• ​Safe & Pest-Free: Sourced and cultivated under optimal conditions to ensure you receive clean, pathogen-free, and healthy plants.

​Planting & Care Guide

​For the best results in your aquascape, follow these recommended parameters:

• ​Placement: Foreground or Midground.
• ​Lighting: Moderate to High. Note: Higher light promotes lower, lateral, and creeping growth, whereas low light will make the stems grow more vertically.
• ​CO2 Requirement: Recommended but not strictly required. CO2 injection greatly improves growth density, leaf size, and overall health.
• ​Substrate: Thrives best in nutrient-rich aquasoil or a fine, nutrient-rich substrate where its delicate roots can securely anchor.
• ​Water Temperature: 20°C to 30°C.
• ​pH Range: 5.0 to 7.5.
• ​Trimming: Easily propagated by cutting the top shoots and replanting them directly into the substrate. Frequent trimming keeps the bush low, compact, and refreshed.
