How Do You Care For Anacharis Plants?
Anacharis, also called Brazilian waterweed and elodea, is a hardy aquatic plant that is native to both South and North America. Characterized by thin, pointed leaves and a deep green color, it has become the most popular plant purchased by those owning aquariums. These plants are considered ideal for those who are new to aquatic plant care because they are easily cared for and fast growing. In spite of this, like any plant, anacharis does have ideal conditions in which it is able to thrive at its best. Maintain water temperature at a range between 50 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (or 10 to 25 degrees Celsius). Some species used in outdoor ponds can thrive in cooler weather. Check with your local retailer to determine which variety you are buying. Check that the pH of the water in which you will be placing Anacharis is between 6.5 and 7.5. This plant prefers hard water with a high mineral content. This can be as simple as adding compatible fish species to the water, such as angelfish or gold
