Ammania

Ammania is a popular aquarium plant known for its striking red and green foliage. A 5cm pot typically contains young, healthy stems that can be planted directly into the substrate. As it grows, Ammania adds vibrant color and texture to aquascapes, making it ideal for creating focal points. It thrives under moderate to high lighting and benefits from CO2 supplementation.

Care guide:

• Lighting: Requires moderate to high light for optimal growth and vibrant colouration.
• CO2: Benefits from CO2 supplementation; enhances growth and colouration.
• Water Parameters: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.5) and soft to moderately hard water.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 22-28°C (72-82°F).
• Substrate: Nutrient-rich substrate recommended for healthy root development.
• Fertilisation: Regular dosing of liquid fertilizers, especially iron, to maintain strong growth.
• Trimming: Regularly trim to encourage bushier growth and prevent overgrowth.
• Placement: Ideal for midground to background planting in aquascapes.
