Overview:

Gratiola viscidula is an elegant stem plant valued for its narrow, bright green leaves and upright growth habit. Supplied in an in-vitro cup, this plant is cultivated in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring it is free from pests, algae, and snails.

Its clean vertical lines make it ideal for adding structure and contrast in planted aquariums, particularly when used in groups. Gratiola viscidula works well in nature-style aquascapes, where its fine texture complements broader-leaved plants.

Care and Growth:

This plant prefers medium to high lighting to maintain compact growth and healthy leaf development. CO₂ injection and regular liquid fertilisation are recommended to encourage stronger stems and prevent legginess. A nutrient-rich substrate will further support vigorous growth.

Propagation is straightforward: simply trim healthy stems and replant the cuttings into the substrate. With consistent care, new shoots will develop quickly, allowing for dense group plantings.
