A rare Sulawesi endemic with intense coloration. Ammania sp. 'Towuti' originates from the ancient Lake Towuti in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Under high light, it develops vivid orange-red to copper tones that few other stems can match.
Demands high light and CO₂ injection. Sensitive to unstable parameters — maintain consistent water chemistry. Iron dosing essential for best color.
Tissue culture — pest-free, algae-free, ready to plant.
🌱 First 30 days: Stems may appear thin initially. Trim and replant tops after 2 weeks to encourage bushy submersed growth.
✂️ Propagation: Trim and replant cuttings. Roots in 7–10 days. Moderate.
