Myriophyllum sp Roraima

Myriophyllum sp Roraima is afine-leaved plant develops beautiful orange-yellow to brown-red colouration under water, that is very fast-growing and easy to cultivate. The shoots grow to over 50 cm long and about 5 cm wide and branch regularly. Five finely pinnate leaves are arranged in a whorl.

Myriophyllum sp Rorainma has no special requirements and also grows in medium-hard water and without CO₂ addition. However, it unfolds its full splendour with rather strong lighting, complete macro- and micronutrient supply via the water column and CO₂ addition. The rapid growth makes frequent pruning necessary, and pruning leads to bushier growth. Propagation is easy by head cuttings and partial cuttings. The Roraima Milfoil looks magnificent as a bush at least 30 cm high in the background or middle ground of larger tanks. As a fast-growing plant, it can be recommended for the initial planting of newly set-up aquariums.
