​

Difficulty: Easy to moderate

Type: Stem

Size: Generally less than 20cm. Pruning will keep the plants much shorter and bushier

Position and Usage: Foreground to midground placement. Can be used as a background plant in nano-aquariums

CO2 Requirements: Not required but will result in faster, denser growth

Growth Rate: Moderate to Fast

Lighting: 2/5 – 5/5

Water Conditions: 18 - 28°C (65 - 83°F)

Propagation/Reproduction: Cuttings Special Requirements: Very few specific requirements. Normal aquarium substrate with root tabs is suffficient and a regular fertilization regime should be enough. This plant does not need CO2 but like all aquarium plants, will benefit from CO2 fertilization all the same. INVASIVE SPECIES POTENTIAL: Though not current listed as an invasive exotic in either Canada or the United States, other species of Myriophyllum (that we do not sell) such as M. spicatum (Eurasian Milfoil) have become major invasive pests in waterways throughout the continent. Because of it's fast growth rate and wide tolerance to a variety of water conditions, this species could potentially become a threat to native habitats in North America. It is tolerant of lower temperatures than Myriophyllum mattogrossense or Myriophyllym propinquum and can therefore pose a threat across the entire continent - including but not limited to the Great Lakes. Please be mindful that we need to protect the biodiversity of our precious native waterways and NEVER intentionally release this plant into the wild! Extra cuttings can often be traded for store credit at your local fish store. They can be properly disposed of by placing the cuttings in a plastic bag and sealing it before tossing them in the trash. If you want to go one step further to protect our waterways, freeze, boil or soak the cuttings in bleach before disposing
