Ammannia gracilis

Ammannia gracilis is a delicate stem plant prized by aquascapers for its slender, graceful growth habit and vibrant coloration. This species thrives in high-light environments where it develops reddish hues throughout its foliage, creating striking visual contrast in planted aquariums. Best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists, it requires consistent nutrient supplementation and stable water parameters to reach its full potential. Plant in groups for maximum aesthetic impact, allowing adequate spacing for light penetration. Ideal water conditions include temperatures between 72-82°F and slightly acidic to neutral pH. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and maintains desired tank aesthetics.
