Amazon Jungle Flowering Spinifex Tree Aquarium Plant

Spinifex foliage with flower detail worked through it, 30cm tall and 335g. Live plants that flower underwater are difficult — they want strong light, stable CO2 and patience. This gives you the same splash of colour at the top of the tank on day one, with none of that.

Read it as decoration rather than botany: real spinifex does not flower like this. If you want your scape to pass as a biotope, choose the plain Upright Spinifex instead.

Features

• 30cm — background height in most tanks
• Flower detail — colour at the top of the scape where the eye goes first
• 335g — stable in normal flow
• No maintenance — no lighting, CO2, fertiliser or trimming, and herbivorous fish will not eat it

Care

Rinse under warm running water before it goes in the tank. Every few months, lift it out and swish it in a bucket of old tank water to shift the algae film that settles on any decor — never use soap or detergent.

Worth knowing

Artificial plants do not take up nitrate or oxygenate the water the way live plants do. They are for structure, cover and looks — your filter and water changes still do the work.
