Samolus Parviflorus Red

Common Name: Samolus Parviflorus 'Red'

Samolus parviflorus 'Red' is a hardy and colorful aquatic stem plant that's perfect for your next aquascape! It features soft red and orange hues that are great for adding vibrant pops of color to popular aquascape styles like Dutch-style aquariums and nature style planted tanks. Though a slow grower, it forms full bushes that make it ideal for the midground of your aquarium.

This plant is flexible with care and will do just fine under medium to high lighting. However, providing it with stronger lights will encourage deeper, richer red tones. Under poor lighting or low nutrients, it may revert to thinner, green-toned growth. As with all stem plants, we recommend CO₂ injection and a nutrient-rich substrate for optimal color and rounder, fuller leaves.

Overall, Samolus parviflorus 'Red' is a unique and low-maintenance option for hobbyists looking to add midground red colors.

Notes:

• Final coloration is dependent upon the conditions this plant is kept in. This is a live plant meaning size, shape and color may vary.
• Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Stable parameters are best when possible.
  
• Consider CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil to yield better growth.
• Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
