    Description

    Egeria najas is a slender, fast-growing stem plant from South America, producing whorls of very fine, narrow leaves along tall, freely branching stems. Its lighter, more delicate structure makes it a visually distinct alternative to the similar Elodea densa, and its vigorous growth enables it to absorb excess nutrients from the water column efficiently.

    It is one of the easiest stem plants to keep, growing under low to medium light without CO2 injection. Its rapid uptake of nutrients helps suppress algae in newly established aquariums or tanks with heavier fish loads, making it a practical as well as decorative choice.

    Supplied as two bunches, Egeria najas is best planted in groups at the back of the aquarium where it quickly forms a lush, bright green background. Regular trimming keeps growth compact and encourages dense, bushy regrowth from each cutting.

    Egeria najas - 2 Bunches

    Aquarium plant that customers said arrives "well packed" and in "healthy condition." Many reported "growing great" with visible growth within weeks. Fish love it and it "looks great" in tanks. Some concerns about size inconsistency - a few found bunches "very small" or "thin." Occasional issues with plants arriving in pieces or falling apart. Thrives well with proper care.

    • Super bushy plant, nice and healthy, I can see new growth within a week.
    • High quality product. It performs excellently, giving students very good results.
    • Plants arrived really well packed and in brilliant condition. Already seen growth in first week.

    This arrived mostly in pieces, all I could do was let a few salvaged pieces float at the top. I've always received good quality plants with all my previous orders and believed there to be really good consistency with the quality, but was let down this time.

    A high quality product. Bought for photosynthesis required practicals in school. It performs excellently, giving the students a very good set of results. We shall use this again in preference to Camomba. It has been a much better choice for our students.

    The product arrived quickly, as a sizable bunch and in perfect condition. The only problem is that it must be very tasty, as my two goldfish have almost eaten it up.

    This plant looks nice in the aquarium and seems to be growing and so far the fish haven't eaten it! I had hoped, when ordering it, that it would be already rooted. But it was not.

    Similar in appearance to Elodea, a lovely dark green. It grows moderately fast , responds to pruning by sending out new shoots, and the prunings root well- great.

    Product FAQs

    Helpful details before you buy.

    How is Egeria najas different from Elodea densa?

    Both are similar South American oxygenating stem plants. Egeria najas has slightly finer, narrower leaves and a lighter, more delicate appearance, while Elodea densa has slightly broader whorls of leaves.

    Does it need CO2?

    No. It grows vigorously under low to medium light without CO2 injection, making it ideal for low-tech aquariums.

    Can it be planted or floated?

    It can be gently pushed into the substrate or left floating. Planting gives a more structured background look; floating provides surface cover for fry and shy fish.

    How fast does it grow?

    Very fast under good light and nutrients. Regular trimming is needed to prevent it outcompeting smaller plants in the aquarium.

    Is it suitable for coldwater aquariums?

    Yes. Like Elodea, Egeria najas tolerates cooler temperatures and can be used in coldwater and temperate set-ups as well as tropical aquariums.
