Myriophyllum Scabratum
You will receive: 1 pot of ±5 stems, ready for planting — freshly delivered from the nursery.
⚠️ Level: Advanced — Myriophyllum Scabratum requires a lot to very much light and is sensitive to dirty water.
Myriophyllum Scabratum (also known as Myriophyllum Pinnatum) is an elegant watermilfoil with thousands of thin, needle-like leaves on a fleshy stem. The plant should be kept in clean water — otherwise, dirt will accumulate between the leaves. Regular pruning keeps the plant in shape.

✂️ Care
Plant in groups in the background zone. Keep the water clean — otherwise, dirt will accumulate between the fine leaves. Prune regularly for compact, full growth — trimmings can be replanted immediately. Liquid fertilizers such as Sera Florena support healthy growth.
💡 Planter's tip
Combines beautifully with other watermilfoil species or wider stem plants for a varied background zone.
