Staurogyne repens
Check Staurogyne RepensStaurogyne Repens is a compact, bushy foreground plant that creates a dense, low-growing carpet of bright green foliage with small, oval leaves. It is one of the easier carpeting plants to grow, though it benefits from CO2 injection and good lighting for the best results. Regular trimming encourages lateral growth and produces a tighter, more uniform carpet over time.
