In the wild Gymnocoronis spilanthoides is generally found as
a marsh plant, but it is very suitable for aquariums. It grows fast and makes
few demands, but it does require a lot of light. With its light-green
foliage, a group of G. spilanthoides forms a good contrast to the
other aquarium plants. The high growth rate can help prevent algae because
the plant absorbs a great number of nutrients from the water. Easy to
propagate by side shoots or cuttings, which should be cut off and planted in
the bottom.
