Barclaya Longifolia

Barclaya Longifolia is an uncommon aquatic bulb plant. When it sprouts, this aquarium plant puts out long red leaves that can become quite large and is a sight to see when paired with bushes of colorful aquatic stem plants. Barclaya Longifolia does not require high light and CO2 injection, but growth will slow and color is less vibrant and more of a bronze tone. Whenever possible, we highly recommend planting it in planted tanks that utilize quality light, CO2 injection and a regular dosing schedule of essential fertilizers. The difference that will result will be very noticeable and the plant will reveal healthy leaves that are a deep maroon hue.
