Description
Ammania Senegalensis
Ammania Senegalensis, due to its coloration is also known as copper ammania, originates from Western Senegal. This is a very beautiful and striking plant, guaranteeing to draw attention to your tank. The leaves of this plant will display a multitude of colors from light to dark green mixed with light to dark red, even maroon or crimson red. The more intense the lighting the more intense red coloration the plant's leaves will exhibit.
Ammania Senegalensis Care & Maintenance
Under good conditions, with proper light and fertilization, this plant will grow fast. The plant will appreciate good light. While not necessary, dosing liquid fertilizers, and liquid iron fertilizer in particular, will aid the plant in producing more intensely red-colored leaves. Trimming the plant regularly will keep it compact and looking "full."
- Minimum Lighting: Moderate
- Temperature Range: 71-83°F
- Tank Placement: Background
The best placement is probably in the background but it can also be planted mid-ground. Ammania Senegalensis looks best planted in bunches. When planting, separate each stem and plant it individually. Propagation is by cuttings.

My favorite
Posted by Kendra on 28 May 2020Words can't describe how magical this plant is. They came to me in thick, wavy stalks but the leaves seemed like just ordinary back row green material, BUT since being planted a week ago, they've straighten out, blossomed (literally), and have taken on a pink hue. From above, they look like flowers! They are my absolute favorite out of the five plants I bought from Modern Aquarium.

Ammania Senegalensis
Posted by Curtis on 7 May 2020I received the 2 bunches of Ammania Senegalensis. Like the other plants I ordered the roots have been cut off leaving about 3/4" of roots on the plants, which makes it very hard to plant them in an aquarium or pond.
