    Description

    Ammania pedicellata 'Gold' is an unusual aquarium plant from Africa with warm yellow-green to gold-toned leaves and contrasting brown stems — a colour combination you rarely see in the planted tank hobby. Most stem plants offer red or green; this one fills a distinct gap with its warm amber colouring.

    It is relatively easy by stem plant standards: it tolerates both hard and soft water, suits temperatures of 22–30°C, and doesn't need the intensive maintenance of more demanding species. CO2 supplementation and good lighting will bring out the best colour, but it copes reasonably well without them too.

    Note: availability is seasonal. The image shows the species at full potential — exact size on arrival will vary.

    A light-colored aquatic plant with "delicate leaves" that provides attractive contrast in tanks. Customers said it arrives in "excellent condition" and is "super healthy," growing well after planting. Some noted it's smaller than expected initially but grows quickly. One shopper mentioned fish consume it faster than it grows, though they viewed this positively.

    • Looks exactly like picture, great as a contrast to the usual green plants
    • Super healthy and am sure it will grow quick. Really nice delicate leaves
    • Light coloured plant which brightens up the tank. Arrived well packed, in good condition.

    Another light coloured plant which brightens up the tank. Arrived well packed, and in good condition. I know where to come to get any more plants I may need. Many thanks.

    A pretty plant which is consumed by the fish faster than it grows. As that is one of the reasons I like to have live plants, this is seen as a positive aspect.

    Product FAQs

    Helpful details before you buy.

    What makes Ammania pedicellata Gold unusual?

    The warm yellow-green to gold leaf colour is genuinely rare in the planted tank hobby. Most stem plants are red or green — this fills a distinct gap.

    Is it difficult to grow?

    Relatively easy by stem plant standards. It tolerates hard or soft water and a wide temperature range. CO2 and good lighting improve colour but are not essential.

    Is it seasonal?

    Yes — availability from growers varies. It can be difficult to source, so worth grabbing if it's in stock.

    How tall does it grow?

    With CO2 and good light it can reach 30–40cm, making it suitable for midground to background placement.

    What light does it need?

    Medium to bright lighting for the best colour development. Under low light the gold tones become more muted and growth is slower.
