Care Tips: Piptospatha ridleyi is a slow-growing aquatic plant from Southeast Asia, known for its unique, upright, narrow leaves that add an elegant touch to aquascapes. When acquired in tissue culture form, it is free of pests and algae, making it a clean addition to your aquarium. This plant thrives in low to medium light, and while CO₂ injection isn't necessary, it can enhance its growth and color. A nutrient-rich substrate will support healthy root development. It is best placed in midground to background areas, where it can create a strong vertical presence. Piptospatha ridleyi is perfect for natural aquascapes, planted tanks with shrimp, or as a subtle contrast to broader-leaved plants. Regular pruning helps maintain a neat shape and encourages fresh growth from the base.
