Product FAQs

Helpful details before you buy.

Does Myriophyllum mattogrossense need CO2?

Added CO2 is beneficial for fuller growth. Combine suitable lighting with regular nutrition; CO2 injection is not a substitute for either.

What light level does it need?

Medium light is suitable. Good lighting helps the fine leaves spread into an attractive fan shape.

Is it suitable for beginners?

It is relatively easy with suitable light and regular feeding, and can be useful when starting an aquarium. Its fast growth needs frequent trimming.

What water conditions does it prefer?

Provide stable aquarium conditions and consistent fertilisation. Good nutrition is particularly useful for its rapid growth.

How do I propagate it?

Trim stem cuttings and replant them in the substrate. They root readily and continue the same feathery growth, allowing you to build a dense background group.
