Care Tips: Juncus repens, also known as Creeping Rush, is an attractive aquatic plant that adds vertical interest to aquascapes with its fine, grass-like leaves. When acquired in tissue culture form, it is free from pests and algae, ensuring a clean and safe start in your tank. This plant thrives under medium to high lighting and can grow well with or without CO₂ supplementation. However, adding CO₂ will encourage more robust and faster growth. It prefers a nutrient-rich substrate to support its root system but can also grow in low-nutrient environments. Juncus repens is ideal for the midground or background of aquariums, where its narrow, upright leaves create a nice contrast with bushier plants. Regular trimming can help maintain its shape and prevent it from becoming too tall. This plant is a great choice for aquascapes that want to achieve a natural, wild look with a fine texture.
