Staurogyne Repens 'Porto Velho' is a rare and highly sought-after variant of the popular Staurogyne Repens, known for its narrow, elongated leaves and deep olive to reddish-brown coloration. Native to Brazil, this slow-growing plant is ideal for foreground and midground placement, adding a wild, earthy texture to natural-style aquascapes. Its compact form makes it a fantastic choice for nano tanks and detail-focused layouts.

Key Features

Rare Variant: Distinct from standard S. repens
with a darker, more textured appearance.

Compact, Creeping Growth: Spreads low across the
substrate, perfect for foreground.

Unique Coloration: Leaves range from olive green
to brownish-red depending on lighting and nutrients.

Great for Shrimp Tanks: Dense growth offers
excellent shelter and grazing surfaces.

Aquascaping Friendly: Ideal for beautiful planted tanks and nature-style layouts.

Care Tips

Lighting: Moderate to high lighting encourages compact, lateral growth.

CO₂ & Fertilization: CO₂ is not required, but it enhances color and spread. Root
tabs or liquid fertilizers support steady growth.

Temperature: Performs well in 70–82°F (21–28°C).

Water Conditions: Prefers a pH of 6.0–7.5 and soft to moderately hard water.

Planting & Maintenance: Plant in small clumps with space to spread. Trim occasionally
to promote bushier growth and prevent vertical stretch.
