Murdannia Keisak - Tropica

Murdannia Keisak — Tropica | Potted

Deceptively simple, surprisingly captivating — the rice field stem plant that earns a second look.

Murdannia Keisak is one of those plants that quietly wins over everyone who grows it. Originating from Asian rice fields, this fast growing stem plant brings a unique bamboo-like aesthetic to the aquascape — upright, structured, and refreshingly different from the typical stem plant selection.

Light green leaves just 1cm wide and 3-5cm long give it a delicate, airy appearance, while the stem apex blushes a beautiful red under strong light and CO2 — adding a subtle but striking colour accent that rewards attentive aquascapers. Its willingness to branch out when trimmed means it quickly develops into a full, varied group with regular maintenance, and trimmed tops can be replanted to fill out the display even further.

Sourced from Tropica, the world's gold standard in aquatic plant production, our Murdannia Keisak arrives healthy and potted, ready to add something genuinely different to your aquascape.

What makes it special:

• Tropica sourced — guaranteed quality and healthy roots
• Unique bamboo-like structure — a refreshing alternative to typical stem plants
• Reddish stem apex under strong light and CO2 — subtle colour that rewards good husbandry
• Fast growing and easy to propagate — trim and replant tops to multiply your display
• Compatible with shrimp, snails, and all community fish

Care notes: Fast growing — regular trimming required to maintain shape. Replant trimmed tops to create a fuller group. Strong light and CO2 enhance red colouration at the apex. pH 6.0–7.5, temperature 72–82°F.

Canada-wide shipping available.

Fast, easy, and endlessly rewarding to trim and shape — a stem plant that gives back as much as you put in.
