This is a nice leafy terrarium plant, native to Brazil. The leaves are beautifully marked with red veins, and the green and yellow intermix in a very attractive way. Its a robust and fairly fast growing plant, and tends to ramble more than it will go up. In my tanks it only reaches around 12-15 inches in height. Leaves tend to be around three to five inches in length. Definitely a good "filler" type plant, if you have an empty corner of the tank, put this plant there and it will soon fill it with attractive foliage!
Large cutting with several leaves. This plant is easy to grow and establish in the tank, plant on the floor of the tank and give it good light.
Scientific name is Maranta leuconeura erythroneuro |
