✂️ Care
Plant Gratiola Viscidula in the foreground in a nutrient-rich substrate. It needs plenty of light and preferably CO₂ supplementation for good growth. Soft water (KH 2–5) is important — in water that is too hard, the plant grows less well. Use Sera Florena as a liquid plant fertilizer.
💡 Planter's tip
Gratiola Viscidula grows best in groups in the foreground of a detailed aquascape. Combine it with other fine-leaved foreground plants such as Hemianthus Callitrichoides or Eleocharis for a varied, natural foreground.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Is this plant suitable for beginners?
No, Gratiola Viscidula places higher demands on light, CO₂ and water quality. It is more suitable for experienced aquarium enthusiasts with a well-equipped aquascape.
Do I need CO₂ for this plant?
CO₂ supplementation is highly recommended for good growth and a compact leaf pattern. Without CO₂, the plant grows slower and less compactly.
My plant arrived yellow or limp — is that normal?
Yes, this is transport stress and almost always temporary. Give the plant 1–2 weeks to acclimatize. In case of persistent problems: contact us.
Is this plant shrimp-friendly?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly and popular in shrimp tanks with soft water.
