Grows Tall
Eye-Catching Color
Provides Shelter for Fish
Ammannia Gracilis is a stem plant that requires high light and CO2 to show vibrant red and pink colors. It can also thrive under medium light, but may retain a more yellow to green color. In it's underwater form, Ammannia Gracilis will produce thin, elongated, pointed leaves which help provide shelter for fish and fry.
Under high light, Ammannnia Gracilis is a fast growing stem plant and will need to be trimmed frequently. Left to its own devices, this plant can grow over 10 inches tall. Therefore, it does well as a background plant.
