- Nano stem plant
- Compact growth
- Bushy ground cover
Staurogyne repens or S. repens is a low growing, compact plant which is not difficult to care for if provided the right conditions. It is often used as a foreground plant in aquascaping or to fill in empty spaces in planted aquariums. S. repens has small, light green leaves and the plant itself grows rather bushy - sending leaves upwards but only to a couple inches high. It does quite well under high lighting, though it is not exceptionally fast growing.
Customer Reviews
The plant arrived in great condition, with many stems for me to plant in my tank. One month later, it is doing very well for me with CO2 injections and Easy Green fertilizer
When I opened the box the plant looked super healthy and happy, i actually got three stems in one package! I can’t wait to see it when it gets bigger
Ordered this plant to fill in some space around my tiger lotus bulb. came pretty small and cute, shipped to VT from WA. Spent four days in the box and had no die off after a week in the tank! really appreciated that the plants were packed in a thermal pack with a heater for no extra cost because it was cold where they were going. very appealing for a budget hobbier!
-EDIT-
customer service reached out to make this right via gift card. I appreciate it.
Original review below:
Other plants in the shipment, albeit more beginner friendly, were just night-and-day better in quality.
Tiny tiny leaves, almost no roots. Really nothing like picture. I get that it's baby plants, so the small size is fine, but I was expecting them to have a good start with at least some hint of the vigor I saw in the other shipped plants.
From my vegetable garden experience these appear to have been propagated from a flowering plant which seems rather sub-optimal.
I only received staurogyne repens 10 days ago. It was easy to plant, could either plant in clusters or individual stems (I chose individually). They are perked straight up, but maybe only a few new leaves have sprouted. They do have good color and I look forward to seeing them spread.

Looking forward to watching this plant grow. It has a very unique look compared with other stem plants like Bacopa, Ludwigia, etc. The first one arrived melted (molten?) due to a USPS shipping delay, but customer support at the Aquarium Co-op was extremely helpful. They re-shipped the plant, and this time it arrived in great shape, with about four healthy stems total. Even though it's known as a slow grower, they are putting out new sets of leaves at ~10 days out. One plant is already forming a long rhizome.
Plants came in great shape and have Acclimated well. I would Definitely buy more.
Arrived super healthy, excellent packaging and quick shipping. Like all my other aquarium plant purchases this one was again perfect. I’ve never received an unhealthy plant and I’ve never had any hitchhikers.
All the leave and stems were rotted of. I was able to save some stems and now have a little tiny plant. I don't know if the sad state this was in was because it doesn't ship well or if it was bad before it was sent to me. Aquarium co-op did refund me which was appreciated.
