by Nature Aquariums
Type: AQUARIUM PLANTS

Myriophyllum Tuberculatum, also called Red Watermilfoil, grows in the slow-flowing and stagnant waters of Southeast Asia and Australia. Its vibrant red-and-orange, needle-like leaves grow diagonally upward, creating a fiery accent against green plants.

Other Demanding — needs strong light, high CO2, and consistent iron/micronutrient dosing to avoid stunted, dull growth. Pairs well with green Myriophyllum and Limnophila for a Dutch-style "street."

Care & Planting: Remove from bunch wrap/foam, then plant into substrate. Trim by removing the old stem and replanting the healthier upper portion; propagate by cutting lateral shoots and replanting.

A note on appearance: Many stem plants, including this one, are harvested in their above-water (emersed) form, and the photo may not reflect how it looks once fully adjusted to life underwater. Leaf shape and coloration commonly shift as the plant transitions to submersed growth — don't be surprised if new growth looks different from what arrived in your order. Give it a few weeks to acclimate before judging its final look.
