APC Stargrass – Fast-Growing Stem Plant for Background or Midground

Heteranthera zosterifolia, commonly known as Stargrass, is a striking stem plant native to South America. Known for its bright green, star-shaped leaves and bushy appearance, this plant thrives under high light and nutrient-rich conditions. When provided with optimal CO₂ and light, Stargrass grows rapidly and forms dense, feathery clusters that sway beautifully in current. It’s ideal for midground to background placement in larger aquascapes. Regular trimming encourages side shoots and helps maintain a compact shape. This plant can be propagated easily by cuttings and replanting the stems.
