Care Tips: Myriophyllum verticillatum, also known as whorled water milfoil, is a fast-growing aquatic plant known for its delicate, feathery foliage. It thrives best in cool to moderate temperatures and prefers nutrient-rich water. The plant benefits from medium to high lighting to maintain its fine leaf structure and compact growth. While it can grow without CO₂, supplementation significantly boosts its growth and appearance. Regular trimming helps prevent it from becoming too leggy and keeps it dense and bushy. It's a good oxygenator and provides excellent cover for small fish and fry. Root tabs or liquid fertilizers help support its growth if planted in inert substrates.
