Originally from Central and South American Cabomba Furcata grows in calm waters with little movement. It can live in soft water, temperature from 18 to 30 ° C. and with a pH of 5 to 6.8. Its flower is  white or violet in color. If this plant is grown in a group it gives a very striking aspect to the aquarium, specially when planed in the company of other cabombas like the green variety that we also sell in our store.  It is a fast growing plant so it helps to clean the aquarium of harmful substances and the control of algae.  It is very easy to propagate thru cuttings of mature plants. In order to make the red colors to pop it is  recommended to feed an iron supplement in the aquarium.
