Unlike Anubias, it grows at a medium pace and spreads readily by sending out runners, so a few plants soon fill in to form a lush, low, natural-looking patch. Native to the rivers of the Philippines, where it often grows in large, dense groups, it brings that same natural, river-bank feel to an aquascape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHardy and forgiving, it thrives in most aquariums, even in very poor light, which makes it an easy choice for beginners and low-tech tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare at a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientific name: Schismatoglottis prietoi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Philippines, Asia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth rate: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 1–2 inches (3–5+ cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaf length: 1–3 inches (3–8 cm), elliptical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight demand: Low, and tolerates very poor light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCO2: Not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest placement: Foreground to midground, planted in the substrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Tips\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUnlike Anubias, Schismatoglottis prietoi grows best when planted in the bottom layer, where it willingly sends out runners and spreads. Plant in small groups with a little space between individual plants so the runners can fill in the gaps. Over time it forms a dense, low cover across the substrate, much like the dense stands it forms in its natural rivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll community fish, shrimp, and snails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for low-tech planted tanks, beginner aquariums, and shaded areas of the tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks well alongside Anubias, Cryptocoryne, and Java Fern, where its similar leaf shape and tidy habit add a cohesive, natural look\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGood in shrimp tanks, where its dense growth gives shrimplets shelter and grazing surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tropica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49445633229022,"sku":null,"price":14.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/2-37.png?v=1794688332","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/schismatoglottis-prietoi-tissue-culture-tropica","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
