Glossostigma elatinoides (10cm x 15cm per piece)

Description

Glossostigma elatinoides, commonly known as Glosso, is a popular and highly sought-after foreground plant in the aquascaping world. Known for its tiny, bright green leaves and its ability to form a lush, dense carpet, Glossostigma elatinoides creates a stunning, natural look at the bottom of your aquarium. This plant is perfect for creating a beautiful, low-maintenance carpet effect in your tank, especially when provided with optimal care and conditions.

Typically grown in mats, Glossostigma elatinoides thrives in moderate to high lighting and benefits from CO₂ supplementation, which helps it achieve its full potential and promotes a healthy, vibrant carpet. It prefers a nutrient-rich substrate for optimal growth and will require regular trimming to maintain its compact, carpet-like appearance. Given its relatively slow growth rate compared to other carpeting plants, it will benefit from proper light, CO₂, and nutrients to encourage lush growth.

This plant’s tiny, bright green leaves provide contrast and texture, and it also contributes to maintaining water quality by absorbing excess nutrients, reducing the risk of algae blooms in the tank.

Price is per piece (approximately 10cm x 15cm per piece).
