known as Green Milfoil or Water Milfoil — is
one of the most beautiful feathery stem plants
available for freshwater planted tanks. This
myriophyllum green aquarium plant produces

circular clusters along tall flowing stems
— creating a spectacular feathery underwater
display with outstanding oxygenation benefits
for any aquarium or pond setup.

Visually impressive and highly functional,
this myriophyllum green aquarium plant is
one of the best natural oxygenators available
for freshwater setups — producing abundant
oxygen throughout the day while simultaneously
providing excellent natural shelter for
fish fry and shrimp in its dense feathery
whorled structure.

What is Myriophyllum Green Aquarium Plant?

Myriophyllum is a genus of aquatic plants
found naturally across the world in freshwater
ponds, lakes, rivers, and streams. The green
variety produces its characteristic bright
green feathery whorled leaves as a natural
adaptation for maximising light absorption
and oxygen production in the clear shallow
water habitats of its wide natural range.

In the aquarium this myriophyllum green
aquarium plant grows as a tall upright stem
plant reaching 30 to 50 centimetres in height
under good conditions. Its magnificent feathery
whorled leaves make it one of the most
visually striking background plants available
for medium and large freshwater planted tanks.

How to Plant Myriophyllum Green Aquarium Plant

green aquarium plant 2 to 3 centimetres
into fine sand or gravel substrate keeping
lower leaf whorls above the substrate surface.
Plant in groups of 3 to 5 stems spaced
4 to 5 centimetres apart — the large
feathery whorls need more space than
smaller stem plants to display their
full impressive size and circular structure.
