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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eStaurogyne repens\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative To: \u003c\/strong\u003eSouth America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Foreground to midground\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Light: \u003c\/strong\u003eMedium to High Light 20-50+ PAR (click to see our PAR chart)\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePreferred Fertilizer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy Green liquid fertilizer and Easy Root Tabs\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePropagation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eTrim stems and replant\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"reply-body-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"body_text redactor-styles redactor-in\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***Being a natural product, sizes can vary from what is shown.***\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Plant Staurogyne Repens Aquarium Plant\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.

Carefully remove the plant roots from the rock wool, and make sure to remove all the small, yellow fertilizer balls. Wash off any remaining debris.\u003cbr\u003e3. Use planting tweezers or your fingers to plant each stem deeply, at least 2 to 3 inches into the ground, which means the substrate may cover some of the bottom leaves.\u003cbr\u003e4. Don’t plant the stem plants all in a single bunch but rather individually with a little space between so that the roots have some room to grow.\u003cbr\u003e5. If the plant keeps popping out of the ground, try inserting the stem at an angle or wrap a plant weight at the bottom of the stem to keep them anchored. If the stems have no roots, some people will float them at the surface until they develop roots and then plant them into the substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Care for Staurogyne Repens\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— \u003cem\u003eStaurogyne repens\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ecare \u003cspan\u003erequires medium skill level, so start by using medium to high lighting between 20-50+ PAR to prevent \"leggy\" stems (where the bottom portion of the plant starts dropping leaves).

This stem plant is grown out of the water at the farm. Once the plants arrive to us, we begin the process of converting them to their underwater form.
