Ammannia gracilis Red Ammannia

Ammannia gracilis is native to West Africa and has been cultivated in aquariums for several decades. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves are initially olive-green near the substrate base and progressively deepen to orange and red toward the light-exposed growing tips. It requires good light and CO2 for best colour development and benefits from iron-rich fertilisation. Its moderate growth rate and distinctive colour range from yellow-green to orange-red make it a versatile accent plant in Dutch and Nature Aquarium layouts.
