Persicaria sp Manaw - AP349

Persicaria sp. ‘Manaw’ AP349 is an attractive and less commonly seen aquatic stem plant that brings distinctive foliage and warm colour tones to planted aquariums. Its unusual appearance makes it a great choice for aquascapers who want something different from the more common stem plants.

Under suitable conditions, the plant can develop pink, orange, reddish and green tones, with stronger lighting helping to enhance its colour. It can be maintained as a compact group through regular trimming.

Aquarium Requirements

Lighting: Medium to high lighting is recommended for healthy growth and better colour development.

CO₂: CO₂ supplementation helps the plant establish faster and encourages stronger, more compact growth.

Nutrients: Use a balanced aquarium fertiliser to provide essential macro and micronutrients. Consistent nutrition helps maintain healthy foliage.

Substrate: Plant the stems into a nutrient-rich aquarium substrate. Avoid burying too much of the stem, as this can affect healthy growth.

Water Flow: Moderate circulation helps distribute nutrients and CO₂ throughout the aquarium.
