Myriophyllum 'Christmas Tree', is a beautiful aquatic plant that can add a crisp, green look to any aquarium or aquascape. This densely growing Myriophyllum species has compact leaves, giving it a distinctive look that resembles the densely growing needles of a Christmas tree. This is especially prominent in its emersed form.

The submersed form of this plant has relatively coarse, feathery green leaves, which can grow larger under lower light conditions. Due to their dense and compact growth, these leaves look more similar to some Limnophila species than to many other Myriophyllum species. The underwater leaves have a green colouration, and the plant grows relatively fast when provided with high light and good nutrient levels.

The emersed form of Myriophyllum 'Christmas Tree' is particularly attractive, with firm upright red stems and dense, short green leaves. This form of the plant can add an interesting contrast in a pond, and is best planted in shallow water close to the edge.

Like many aquatic plants, Myriophyllum 'Christmas Tree' benefits from the addition of CO2 and high light conditions. In optimal conditions, the plant can grow quite rapidly and form a dense bush of greenery in the aquarium.

Overall, Myriophyllum 'Christmas Tree' is a unique and attractive plant that can be a great addition to the aquarium. Its distinctive appearance and ease of care make it a nice choice for the midground or background of any aquascape.
