Hedyotis salzmannii ‘Mini’ – Delicate Purple-Green Stem Plant for Foreground to Midground in Aquascapes
Hedyotis salzmannii ‘Mini’ is a rare and compact stem plant admired for its fine-leaved structure and unique coloration that ranges from deep green to soft purple under optimal conditions. Its miniature size and delicate branching make it a standout choice for foreground to midground placement, especially in nano tanks or high-detail aquascapes where scale and texture are key.
This species thrives in moderate to high lighting and benefits greatly from CO₂ supplementation and nutrient-rich substrates. It responds well to trimming, encouraging dense, bushy growth that adds softness and layering to your planted aquarium. Its graceful appearance pairs beautifully with bolder red or green plants, creating a dynamic and natural layout.
