Myriophyllum mattogrossense ‘Golden’ (Tissue Culture)
Myriophyllum mattogrossense ‘Golden’ is a rare plant with striking, fine-leaf stem plant admired in Aquascaping for its soft, feathery texture and warm yellow-green to golden tones. When grown under strong light and stable conditions, it forms dense, flowing bushes that add brightness and contrast to midground and background areas.
Tissue culture advantage: Grown in sterile conditions, this plant arrives free of algae, pests, and snail eggs—ideal for clean Aquascaping builds and shrimp-focused aquariums.
Before planting, rinse thoroughly to remove all gel media and separate into small portions.
Why Aquascapers Like It
- Golden-yellow to light green tones that brighten planted layouts
- Fine, feathery leaf structure adds softness and movement
- Trims and re-plants easily for shaping dense bushes
- Strong contrast plant alongside darker greens and reds
- Excellent for nature-style and Dutch-inspired Aquascaping
Care & Placement
- Placement: Midground to background
- Lighting: Moderate to high (higher light brings out golden colour)
- CO₂: Recommended for stability, density, and colour development
- Fertilization: Consistent macro and micro nutrients support strong tip growth
- Trimming: Regular trimming encourages side shoots and bushier growth
- Flow: Moderate flow helps maintain clean, upright growth
Aquascaping Tips
- Use as a bright contrast plant behind darker hardscape or stems.
- Plant in small groups with spacing to allow light to reach lower portions.
- Stable CO₂ and nutrients matter more than extreme light levels.
