Juncus Repens is a hardy, narrow-leafed stem plant that thrives in a wide range of aquarium conditions, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists. Its slender, grass-like stems provide a natural, elegant texture that complements any aquascape. Under low light, it grows longer and more delicate, while high light encourages compact growth with beautiful red-tipped leaves, adding striking contrast to your tank.
This particular variety is a high-light form, cultivated for enhanced red coloration and dense growth, available exclusively for North American aquarists. Its versatile nature and attractive form make it perfect for use in the foreground to midground areas of freshwater aquariums.
