While it will grow in low-tech tanks, providing moderate to high lighting and CO2 supplementation will significantly improve its growth rate and overall appearance. Plant individual stems 2–3 cm apart and allow them to fill in naturally for the best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fast dispatch across Australia with careful packaging to ensure your plants arrive healthy and ready to plant.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"School Of Scape","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53732154671418,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1003\/5770\/files\/e94f17b0-7671-4e5d-bd00-a56093deded2.png?v=1784012832","url":"https:\/\/schoolofscape.com.au\/products\/staurogyne-porto-velho","provider":"School Of Scape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
