Myriophyllum mattogrossense ‘Green’ (Tissue Culture)
Myriophyllum mattogrossense ‘Green’ is a classic fine-leaf stem plant valued in Aquascaping for its soft, feathery texture and vibrant green coloration. It grows quickly under stable conditions and forms dense, flowing bushes that bring movement and natural depth to midground and background areas of planted aquariums.
Tissue culture advantage: Grown in sterile conditions, this plant arrives free of algae, pests, and snail eggs—ideal for clean Aquascaping builds and shrimp tanks.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all gel media and separate into small portions before planting.
Why Aquascapers Like It
- Bright, fresh green colour that keeps layouts looking crisp
- Fine, feathery foliage adds softness and flow
- Fast growth helps fill space quickly
- Easy to trim and replant for shaping dense bushes
- Excellent background plant for nature-style and Dutch layouts
Care & Placement
- Placement: Midground to background
- Lighting: Moderate to high
- CO₂: Recommended for stability and fuller growth
- Fertilization: Consistent macro and micro nutrients support healthy tips
- Trimming: Trim tops regularly to promote bushy side shoots
- Flow: Moderate flow helps keep growth upright and clean
Aquascaping Tips
- Use behind darker plants or hardscape for strong contrast.
- Plant in small groups with spacing to allow light to reach lower stems.
- Focus on stability rather than extreme light for best long-term results.
