Ammannia Senegalensis

Description

The Copper Leaf Ammannia is native to tropical Africa, as well as many other Ammannia species. It occurs in various wet places. As an amphibious plant, it is able to grow above and under water. Ammannia senegalensis is already long known as a colourful stem plant in the aquarium hobby. It develops quite narrow, 2-6 cm long, brown-red to almost orange red submerged leaves. Characteristically the leaf margins are rolled downward. This species grows and propagates faster than Ammannia gracilis.
