About this Plant

Here is a detailed description and care guide for Myriophyllum brasiliensis:

Description:
Myriophyllum brasiliensis is a submerged aquatic plant that features delicate, feathery leaves. The leaves are arranged in whorls around the stem, giving the plant a graceful and bushy appearance. The leaves are typically green in color, but can sometimes exhibit reddish tones under certain conditions. The stems are slender and can grow up to 30-50 cm (12-20 inches) in length, making it a good mid-ground or background plant in an aquarium or pond.

Care Guide:

Lighting: Myriophyllum brasiliensis thrives in moderate to high lighting conditions. Provide it with at least 3-4 watts per gallon of full-spectrum lighting to promote healthy growth and vibrant coloration.

Water Parameters: This plant prefers slightly acidic to neutral water conditions with a pH range of 6.5-7.5. The temperature should be kept between 22-28°C (72-82°F). Maintain good water quality by performing regular water changes and monitoring ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels.

Substrate: Plant Myriophyllum brasiliensis in a nutrient-rich substrate or use root tabs to provide it with essential nutrients. A fine-grained substrate or sand works well for this plant.

CO2 and Fertilization: While not strictly necessary, providing supplemental CO2 and regular fertilization can enhance the growth and overall health of Myriophyllum brasiliensis. CO2 injection and a comprehensive liquid fertilizer can help promote vibrant growth and prevent nutrient deficiencies.

Propagation: Myriophyllum brasiliensis can be propagated through stem cuttings. Simply cut off a healthy stem and replant it in the substrate. The plant will develop new roots and continue growing.

Pruning: Regular pruning is necessary to maintain the bushy shape and prevent overgrowth. Trim back any excessive growth to control the size and encourage new lateral shoots.

Compatibility: Myriophyllum brasiliensis is generally compatible with a wide range of fish and invertebrates. However, avoid keeping it with herbivorous species that may consume or damage the delicate leaves.

With proper care and maintenance, Myriophyllum brasiliensis can create a beautiful and natural-looking aquatic display in your aquarium or pond. Monitor its growth regularly, adjust care parameters as needed, and enjoy the lush green foliage it adds to your aquatic setup.
