Also erroneously known as Eusteralis stellata. This beautiful stem plant is distributed in South East Asia and Australia.

This plant has high CO2 requirements and is suitable for background focal point in larger aquariums. Its strong coloration and large foilage provides a stunning contrast to green stem plants in large aquariums of 55 gallons. In medium to large aquariums, it can be used as background plants.

Propagation is easy by trimming the top to promote side shoots growth.
