Blyxa japonica, also known as Japanese Blyxa, is a bushy, grass-like stem plant with a relatively slow growth rate. While it is similar to Blyxa aubertii, this plant behaves much more like a stem plant and is easier to propagate. It is also much smaller in size, making it a great option for smaller aquariums.

This plant features long, thin stems with bright green, grass-like leaves that grow in a tight rosette. It is a relatively slow-growing plant that requires moderate to high lighting and nutrient-rich substrate to thrive.

Japanese Blyxa is a versatile plant that can be used in various aquarium layouts, including as a foreground, midground, or even background plant, depending size and layout of the tank. To promote healthy growth and maintain its vibrant green colouration, Japanese Blyxa also benefits from the addition of CO2 and regular iron supplementation.

Overall, Blyxa japonica is a hardy and attractive plant that is well-suited for aquariums of various sizes and styles. Its unique appearance and growth habit make it a highly sought-after addition to any aquascape.
