The recommended temperature range for Staurogyne repens is between 20 and 30 °C. It is a low maintenance plant that requires only occasional trimming to keep its shape.

It also works well as a low-growing bush in the fore- and middleground of your aquarium. This plant can be easily shaped by trimming, and its compact growth and solid stems make it look like a spreading shrub.

It is a great option for those looking to create a lush carpet effect or add texture and colour to their aquarium's foreground. With the right conditions, Staurogyne repens can be an excellent addition to most aquariums.
