Dennerle Plants Heteranthera zosterifolia CUP

Heteranthera zosterifolia is a beautiful classic! It looks very attractive in the centre and background, especially in groups. It does best in good light - the more light, the better! If the light is too intense, it needs to be pruned more frequently and will grow even denser as a result. Care should be taken to ensure a regular supply of nutrients. In open tanks, shoots on the water surface often develop small blue flowers that stick out above the water. It also a reliable indicator of a lack of nitrogen: If its leaves turn transparent before wilting, it's a sign for you to take action.
