Staurogyne bahia

Staurogyne 'Bahia' is a relatively uncommon aquatic plant, valued for its compact growth and ability to thrive in planted aquariums. Here's a detailed look at this species: Appearance: It has small, bright green leaves and a bushy, compact form, making it an excellent foreground or midground plant. Its growth habit is low and creeping, with stems that branch out horizontally, which creates a dense carpet-like effect under the right conditions. Growth Conditions: Lighting: Moderate to high lighting is preferred to encourage compact growth and help maintain its bright green color. CO2: While it can grow in tanks without CO2, it will benefit from CO2 injection, which promotes faster, denser growth. Substrate: A nutrient-rich substrate is recommended to support its rooting system and promote healthy, vibrant growth. Temperature: It thrives in temperatures between 22-28°C (72-82°F). pH: Staurogyne 'Bahia' prefers slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH between 6.0 and 7.5.
