Common Name: Eight-Stamened Waterwort
The creeping growth of this stem-plant makes it highly attractive for creating carpets in the aquarium. The very small leaf size makes it an obvious choice for nano-tanks.
Its fresh green colour compliments wood, rocks and other plants extraordinary well and has made the plant increasingly popular. The growth of Elatine hydropiper is quite similar to Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba' and Glossostigma elatinoides but is considerably slower, making it easier to maintain.
Elatine hydropiper
This plant is grown in-vitro and is kept in a nutrient medium. Remove plant from cup and rinse in aquarium water to remove any excess medium. Split into portions and plant into substrate with aquascaping tweezers.
To help maintain a low carpet, trim with aquascaping scissors as needed to keep the plant compact. This plant also requires high lighting and CO2.
