Water Wisteria is a fast-growing stem plant with beautifully lobed, fern-like leaves that add an attractive, feathery texture to any aquarium. It is remarkably adaptable, growing well in low to high light conditions without CO2 injection. Its vigorous growth makes it an excellent nutrient sponge that helps outcompete algae in new tank setups.
