Myriophyllum aquaticum
Origin: South America
Myriophyllum aquaticum, known as Parrot's Feather, produces characteristic bright green, feathery whorls of leaves that give it a lush, tropical appearance. This affordable bunch format is a consistent staple in Belgian and Dutch aquarium shops, providing excellent oxygenation and dense cover for small fish and invertebrates. It grows rapidly even without CO2 injection under moderate to high light.
Remove the lead weight if present and trim the lower stems before planting. Insert in small bunches into substrate or plant individually. Trim regularly to manage growth and prevent shading. Dispose of trimmings responsibly—do not release into natural waterways.
