Description

Staurogyne sp. Porto Velho is a beautiful and popular aquatic plant, prized for its compact, bushy growth and vibrant green foliage. This species is native to Brazil and features thick, lance-shaped leaves that grow in dense clusters along slender stems, creating a lush and textured appearance.
