Eustralis Stellata
You will receive: 1 plant, ready for immediate planting — freshly delivered from the nursery.
⚠️ Difficulty: Advanced — Eustralis Stellata is not an easy aquarium plant and requires soft water, intensive lighting, and extra CO₂.
Eustralis Stellata is a fine-leaved stem plant that, in a good environment and well-spaced groups, contributes to a striking midground. When pruned, the plant branches out well and becomes fuller, but despite optimal care, growth can sometimes slow down or even stop — patience and stable conditions are key here.

✂️ Care
Ensure soft water, intensive lighting, and CO₂ supplementation — these are the three most important factors to keep Eustralis Stellata in good condition. A nutrient-rich substrate further supports growth. Prune regularly: the plant will then branch out and become fuller. Please note that despite optimal care, growth can sometimes slow down or stagnate — this is a challenging species, even for experienced aquascapers.
💡 Planter's tip
Plant in well-spaced groups for the best effect in the midground. Stable water parameters are more important than perfect values — avoid fluctuations.
