Nesaea Crassicaulis
Nesaea crassicaulis
Family: Lythraceae
A striking stem plant with relatively large, broadly oval leaves that take on vivid orange-red tones under high light. The thick stems give it its species name (crassicaulis = thick-stemmed). It requires good light, CO2, and regular fertilisation but rewards with some of the most vivid colouration of any aquatic stem plant.
