Gratiola viscidula, from Northern America, is a captivating addition to the aquatic hobby.
Appearance
Its submerged form boasts a striking, almost 'thorny' appearance, setting it apart with its unique and easily identifiable characteristics.
Lighting and Fertilization
Thriving under ample lighting, this plant is a joy to cultivate, easily adapting to various tank conditions. With regular maintenance through trimming, it can be meticulously shaped into a lush, sprawling carpet or positioned as an eye-catching cushion plant in the foreground or mid-ground of your aquarium. Each stem, measuring approximately 1-2 cm in width, has the potential to reach towering heights of 10+ cm. As it willingly branches and spreads, it creates a luxuriant and dense visual spectacle within the tank.
