Ecoscape Staurogyne Repens - In Vitro

You will receive: 1 In Vitro cup (Ecoscape) — completely free of algae, snails, and pathogens. Ready to plant immediately in any aquarium.

⚠️ Level: Medium — Staurogyne Repens requires normal to high light and CO₂ for the most beautiful compact carpet formation.

Staurogyne Repens is a compact stem plant that stays small with sufficient light and forms a dense, fresh green carpet in the foreground. Similar to Hygrophila Polysperma but much smaller and more compact — ideal for aquascaping. This Ecoscape In Vitro version is 100% sterile grown — ideal for shrimp tanks and sensitive aquariums.

✂️ Care

Gently rinse the culture gel under lukewarm water. Plant the stems in small groups of 3–5 at ±2 cm spacing in the foreground. CO₂ strongly promotes compact growth — without CO₂ the plant grows more upwards. Prune regularly for a denser, more compact carpet. Liquid fertilizers like Sera Florena support healthy growth.

💡 Planting tip

Staurogyne Repens is an excellent alternative to HC Cuba — easier and less demanding, but with a similar carpet effect. Combines beautifully with Anubias or Bucephalandra on wood for a varied foreground.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need CO₂ for this plant?
CO₂ is not mandatory but highly recommended. Without CO₂, the plant grows more upwards instead of forming a compact carpet.

My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, In Vitro plants are grown emersed and will adapt. Give the plant 1–2 weeks. If problems persist, please contact us.

Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes — especially as In Vitro, it's ideal for shrimp tanks, completely free of pests.
