Myrio Red Foxtail [Myriophyllum heterophyllum]
type: Product
description: Myriophyllum heterophyllum 'Myrio Red' — Myrio Red Fine, feathery red foliage with soft, flowing texture — a natural water-cleaning workhorse Myrio Red is a stunning stem plant prized for its fine, feathery foliage in warm reddish tones — a soft, flowing texture unlike the broad-leaved reds in most collections. Commonly used as a midground or background plant, it adds depth, movement, and natural contrast to an aquascape, with delicate red plumes that soften a layout the way ferny foliage does in a garden. Its moderate, manageable growth rate makes it suitable for both low-tech and high-tech planted tanks, and beyond its looks, it's a genuine workhorse: it actively absorbs excess nutrients and offers natural shelter for shrimp and fry. One of the best red stem plants for a natural, flowing aquascape. AQUASCAPING TIP: Moderate-to-high light keeps growth compact and brings out the richest red — in lower light it grows looser and greener. Plant it in a nutrient-rich substrate for strong, upright growth, and trim the tops regularly to control height and replant the cuttings for a denser, bushier stand. CO2 isn't required, but it noticeably speeds growth and deepens color if you run it.
