Tici Myriophyllum hippuroides ‘Guyana Mini’ (Small Pot)

Scientific Name: Myriophyllum hippuroides ‘Guyana Mini’ Common Name: Guyana Mini Myrio Origin: Guyana (South America) Growth Rate: Moderate Difficulty Level: Moderate to Advanced Water Parameters Temperature: 22–28°C pH: 5.5–7.5 GH: 2–10 dGH KH: 0–6 dKH Lighting High lighting is recommended. Strong light promotes compact growth and enhances the plant’s attractive reddish, bronze, and orange coloration. Under lower light conditions, the plant tends to become greener and less dense. CO₂ Requirement CO₂ supplementation is highly beneficial. Encourages dense foliage, compact growth, and vibrant coloration. Stable CO₂ levels help maintain healthy stems and prevent lower leaf loss. Nutrient Requirements Requires regular supplementation of macro and micronutrients. Adequate nitrate, phosphate, potassium, magnesium, and trace elements support healthy development. Iron supplementation helps intensify red and bronze hues. Consistent fertilization is important for maintaining dense, healthy foliage. Placement in Aquarium Best suited for the midground to background. Often used as a colorful accent plant due to its fine, feathery texture. Creates excellent contrast with broad-leaved and bright green aquatic plants. Propagation Easily propagated through stem cuttings. Cut healthy stem tops and replant them into the substrate. Remaining stems readily produce side shoots, resulting in bushier growth. Special Care Tips Plant stems in groups to create a soft, bushy appearance. Regular trimming encourages compact growth and dense branching. Maintain stable CO₂ and nutrient levels to preserve coloration and foliage quality. Good water circulation helps prevent debris accumulation among the fine leaves.
