Common Name:Blood Vomit
Centrolepis Drummondiana is a rare foreground aquarium plant with fine, grassy blades and subtle reddish tones at the base under strong light. It stays compact and low, making it a great choice for detailed planted tank layouts where texture matters. Best suited for high-tech aquariums, this plant rewards stable conditions with a unique look you won’t see in most fish tanks.
This species prefers bright lighting & consistent CO2 to maintain tight growth and healthy, vibrant color. Growth is on the slower side, so patience pays off, especially in well-maintained aquascape layouts where it won’t be shaded by taller stem plants.
Key Features & Important Notes:
- Final coloration is dependent upon the conditions in which this plant is kept. This is a live plant, meaning size, shape, and color may vary.
- Do not make drastic changes to the aquarium. Stable parameters are best when possible.
- CO2 injection and quality aquarium soil will yield better growth.
- Please be sure to remove this plant from its pot. Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant into a quality substrate. For instructions on how to properly prep “potted” aquarium plants, click here.
