Description:
Glossostigma elatinoides, known as Glosso, is a premium carpeting plant cherished by aquascapers for its vibrant green color and compact, creeping growth. Its tiny, round leaves form a dense mat across the substrate, creating a soft, natural-looking carpet that enhances the visual depth of any aquascape. With proper lighting and CO₂ supplementation, Glosso grows quickly and evenly, providing excellent coverage and serving as a protective refuge for shrimp and fry.
