✂️ Care

Plant Staurogyne repens in small clumps in nutrient-rich substrate. Trim the tops regularly to keep the plant compact and low. With CO₂, the plant grows faster and more compactly, but it also does well without CO₂. Add liquid plant fertilizer regularly, such as Sera Florena.

💡 Planter tip

Ideal as a low-tech alternative to Monte Carlo or Cuba. Combine with Eleocharis or Cryptocoryne parva for a varied, low-maintenance foreground.
