Myriophyllum brasiliense

Haloragaceae family. North and South America are the homelands.

A graceful, light green plant with long stems that is common among aquarists creates dense thickets in the water column. Ideal for keeping in any size aquarium. comparatively modest in style.

The myriophyllum does well in tropical aquariums that are moderately warm. The ideal temperature range for storage is between 18 and 26 °C. The plant can tolerate a brief drop in temperature to between 12 and 14 °C. It works best with soft water (total hardness up to 6 °) that has a pH of 5.5 to 7, which is neutral or slightly acidic. Keeping an eye on the water’s purity is crucial when caring for myriophyllum. Turbidity particles quickly attach themselves to the plant’s fragile, thinly cut leaves, impairing their nutrition and ultimately causing the leaves to wither. It is crucial to change between 1/5 and 1/4 of the water on a weekly basis.

When it comes to lighting, the plant is very picky. It should be a bright light. The feather leaf grows extremely long and loses its vibrant color in low light. It thrives in naturally diffused light, but it should be shielded from direct sunlight because it fears an excessive amount of algae.

You can use LB-type fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps to create artificial lighting. For every liter of aquarium volume, the latter should have a power of 0.4 to 0.5 W. The feather leaf’s behavior, which involves folding its leaves when it has had enough light, indicates how long it needs daylight. After about thirty minutes, the light should be turned off.

The feather leaf’s extremely delicate root system is underdeveloped. The ideal soil is made of slightly silted sand, spread out in a thin layer (two to three centimeters is sufficient). It is possible to cultivate peristolister freely while swimming in the water column.

There is no need for the plant to receive additional fertilization from complex mineral fertilizers. He usually gets enough nutrients when the water is changed and the fish are fed.

Peristolistice propagates quickly when stem cuttings are made. Regular pruning of the plants is necessary, along with the removal of the tops. The lower mutation of the leaves is then furthered by transplanting it into the ground. Quick formation of the root system occurs at the leaf base.

By lowering the aquarium’s water temperature, you can create a peristanist of relaxing conditions during the winter months when there isn’t enough natural light. However, it’s not required to do so. A sufficient amount of artificial light allows the peristorlete to grow year-round.
