Ammannia crassicaulis

Ammannia crassicaulis, native to Africa, is an attractive and highly regarded aquarium plant that requires strong lighting.

Its leaves exhibit a striking red-brown or cognac hue. The stems can grow to a height of 30-50 cm and a width of 8-15 cm. This plant thrives in soft, slightly acidic water. It is important to ensure that the lower leaves receive adequate light; otherwise, they may perish. In the aquarium, its yellow-green stems are a distinctive feature.

Propagation is straightforward, accomplished through side shoots or cuttings that can be replanted in the substrate.
