Care Tips: Staurogyne Porto Velho is a beautiful aquatic plant that is perfect for the foreground or midground of the aquarium. Known for its compact, bushy growth and attractive dark green leaves, this plant forms dense mats that add texture and vibrancy to aquascapes. It thrives under medium to high lighting conditions and prefers slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5). The plant grows at a medium rate, typically reaching 5–15 cm in height, making it ideal for creating carpets or low-maintenance ground cover. Staurogyne Porto Velho benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate and regular CO2 supplementation, though it can also grow well in low-tech setups with sufficient light and regular water changes. It should be pruned regularly to maintain its bushy appearance and encourage new growth. This plant is also relatively easy to propagate by cutting and replanting the stems, making it a great choice for creating dense, lush aquascapes. Staurogyne Porto Velho is well-suited for aquariums with moderate to high maintenance but will reward with rich greenery that thrives in stable, slightly acidic water conditions.
