Heteranthera zosteraefolia AKA stargrass Grade a-B
2-6 Aquatic Plant Heterantha zosterfolia stargrass

TN_heterantha_zosterfolia

Heteranthera zosterifolia is an extremely beautiful plant which forms a lot of side shoots and thus quickly forms a bushy plant group. In strong light growth is intensive, and the plant must be pruned before it becomes so compact that no light reaches the lower leaves. Water roots often form on the stem. In open aquariums it forms small blue flowers if some shoots are allowed to spread on the surface.

Ceratophyllum demersum has whirled leaves which are densely crowded at the apex of beautifully branched stems, whereas inter-nodes may exceed 3 cm in length at the base of older stems. Ceratophyllum demersum is an obligate, submerged perennial plant which does not form roots. In Nature it is usually found buried in sandy to silty sediments where it anchors itself by modified leaves. Ceratophyllum demersum often forms monospecific populations and is found down to 10m depth as individual very slow-growing plants. In the aquarium, on the other hand, it prefers relatively high light, and it does not tolerate transportation for extended periods. It excretes substances toxic to algae (allelopathic behaviour) and under good growth conditions, it efficiently inhibits most algae growth. It is also a great plant for brackish tanks and will tolerate a certain amount of salinity.
