Type: AQUARIUM PLANTS

Ammania Gracilis (also sold as Large Ammania or Delicate Ammania) is a graceful stem plant that adds a splash of color, with wavy leaves ranging from blush red to pale green depending on light and nutrients. It makes a beautiful midground or background accent, especially contrasted against green foliage, and needs plenty of light to grow well.

Care & Planting: Remove the plant from its wrap and lead weight, then plant into quality substrate. Propagate by cutting new growth from the base of the stem and replanting. As with all farm-grown stem plants, the photo may not reflect its submersed look — leaf shape and color often shift once the plant adjusts to underwater growth.
