Myriophyllum Green (Myriophyllum Mattogrossense)

Description

The species needs at least medium light (0.5 watts per liter) and low Co2 injection. Even without tons of light and Co2, Green Milfoil will grow large, healthy leaf whorls, though more light and more Co2 will make it grow even faster and bigger. The plant isn’t picky about nitrate or phosphate levels, though again, higher levels will lead to faster growth. The shoot tips turning white are a sure sign of low iron or other micronutrients.
Due to its high growth, the Green Milfoil must be cut back frequently. One can re-plant the cut shoot tips in the substrate or remove them. Propagation is easy via this cutting and re-planting method.
This is a great plant for someone new to the aquarium hobby, and its lush green color will allow it to work well as a background or midground filler plant.

Difficulty: Easy
Lighting Requirement: Medium
Growth Rate: High

The displayed image is for illustration purposes only and is of submersed grown plants in aquariums under optimum plant growing conditions.

Depending on the variety, plants sent are grown in an aquarium in emersed or submersed conditions. Hence, plant/leaf structures may vary from those shown in pictures. When they are grown in an aquarium under optimum growing conditions as required by the plant (light, co2, and nutrients), they will get the appearance as shown in pictures.
