Myriophyllum mattogrossense, commonly known as Red or Green Water Milfoil, is a striking stem plant native to South America. With its soft, feather-like leaves and elegant vertical growth, this plant adds flowing texture and contrast to any aquascape. Under medium to high light and with added CO₂, the plant flourishes rapidly—creating dense, bushy clusters that sway gracefully in current.

This plant is best suited for midground to background placement in aquariums, where its finely divided leaves provide excellent shelter for shrimp and fry. Regular trimming promotes side shoots and helps maintain its beautiful, compact shape. Its vibrant green coloration can develop reddish tones under intense light and proper fertilization.
