In this listing you will receive freshly cut trimmings of Ammania Gracilis from our personal planted tanks. Each trimming is about 3-5 inches long.

All plants that we list for sale are grown submersed under water. Not like the majority of the sellers online or at your local fish store where they grow theirs immersed.

And you also will have to transition those plants to get to there real underwater look. Aquarium plants that are grown out of the water looks nothing like there real underwater form.

Common Name: Large Ammania, Red/Pink Ammania, or Delicate Ammania

Ammana gGracilis is a graceful stem plant that can add a splash of color to your planted aquarium. When treated with the proper light and nutrients, Ammania gracilis displays wavy leaves that can be blush red to pale green, depending on light and nutrients available. They make beautiful midground or background accents, especially when contrasted with green foliage. These plants need lots of light, and when given enough will grow tall quickly.

Ammania gracilis will display beautiful color given the proper conditions. It is recommended to supplement iron and micronutrients for these plants to see best growth and color. They will also exhibit the best color when nitrates are low, but phosphate and micronutrients are high. Ammania gracilis will grow best with CO2 levels around 25-30ppm. Soft and acidic water is preferred, but this plant is hardy and can adapt well to extreme conditions. Without sufficient lighting the plant will become pale green and lose its bottom leaves.

To propagate, cut the newest growth from the base of the stem, and re-plant into the substrate. For pruning, and if you’d like a bushier shape to your Ammania Gracillis, cut off the leafy, robust top half and re-plant into the substrate.

Notes:

CO2 injection will yield better growth.
