Persicaria sp Red - AP348

Persicaria sp. Red is a vibrant aquatic stem plant valued for its striking red foliage and strong colour contrast in planted aquariums. It is an excellent choice for adding a bold splash of colour to nature-style and Dutch-style aquascapes.

With medium to high lighting, CO₂ and consistent nutrients, the plant can develop richer red and pink tones. Regular trimming encourages branching and helps maintain a dense, attractive growth pattern.

Trim the tops when the stems become too tall and replant the cuttings to create a fuller group.
