Nesaea crassicaulis is an African stem plant with reddish-brown foliage often described as cognac-coloured. Stems grow about 30–50 cm tall and 8–15 cm wide. It resembles Ammannia species but can be distinguished in the aquarium by its yellow-green stems.
Light must reach the lower leaves
The care description emphasises high light requirements. Make sure the lower leaves receive enough light; otherwise they can die back as the group becomes shaded. Plan the spacing and neighbouring plants with this need in mind.
Water and propagation
Nesaea crassicaulis grows best in soft, slightly acidic water. It is easily propagated from side shoots or cuttings replanted in the substrate. The supplied plant table gives medium overall growth and CO2 demand. Choose this plant for a setup that can meet the descriptive light guidance and maintain access to the lower foliage. This listing is the Tropica potted presentation.
