Nesaea crassicaulis is a beautiful and highly recommended
aquarium plant, although it makes relatively high demands on the light. It
has red-brown, cognac-coloured leaves. Grows best in soft and slightly acidic
water. Make sure the lower leaves get sufficient light, otherwise they turn
black and fall off. This plant is similar to Amania species and is
often mistaken for them. But in the aquarium it can be recognised by its
yellow-green stems. Easy to propagate by side shoots or cuttings, which can
be cut off and planted in the bottom.
