Less light is not a problem for it, but then it grows more slowly.
The dosage of carbon dioxide and feeding with micro and macronutrient fertilizers ensure intensive growth. Staurogyne Repens absorbs nutrients mainly through its root system and therefore prefers a fertile substrate.
Advanced aquarists, however, can keep this species attached to ornaments or decorations. It is enough to use a suitable adhesive. In this case, care must be taken to provide fertilizers to the water column. The best growth results are obtained when the plant is planted in an active substrate. Under good conditions, the plant grows very quickly. It does not require complicated care. All you need to pay attention to is regular pruning using sharp scissors with curved blades. Frequent pruning will help Staurogyne Repens become denser and grow. After pruning, it spreads and forms new stems with leaves. Therefore, it can also be used to create an interesting foreground.
Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at intervals between 3 - 4 cm.

Depending on the light intensity, they are wavy or flat. Salvinia forms a third type of underwater leaves on which the spores are deposited.Like all floating plants, Salvinia is recommended for shady waters . Its great appetite for nitrogen and phosphorus compounds makes this plant a good ally in the fight against algae. Salvinia has low light and nutrient requirements. It grows well in both moderate and strong light. As a floating plant, it does not require a substrate but draws all the necessary nutrients directly from the water. During the vegetation period, it reproduces by spreading, whereby the growth rate is moderate. This makes it easy to control its growth and remove excess plants. It grows to a length of 3-6 cm and likes warm, humid air, so it is advisable to use a glass or cover when growing it.It should be placed in such a way that no condensation falls on the plants. It adapts very quickly to the new parameters. However, it should be borne in mind that it will die if there is too little light. It thrives best in soft to medium-hard water at 22-24°C. The in vitro culture of plants is carried out in tissue culture laboratories. Thanks to the sterile production conditions, the cuttings are free from snails, algae or pathogens.Planting:The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed of the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Place the plant on the surface of the water.
