Acorus gramineus ‘Variegatus’ (5cm Pot) Care Guide

Acorus gramineus ‘Variegatus’ is a variegated, grass-like plant commonly used in ponds, terrariums, and ripariums.

Care Requirements:

• Tank Suitability: Best for terrariums, paludariums, or pond edges (not fully aquatic).
• Lighting: Moderate to high light for optimal growth.
• Temperature: 15–26°C (59–79°F), prefers cooler conditions.
• pH Range: 6.0–7.5, adapts to slightly acidic to neutral water.
• Water Hardness: Soft to moderately hard (4–12 dGH).
• Substrate: Moist, well-draining soil or substrate; avoid full submersion.
• CO2 Requirement: Not necessary.

Key Tips:

• Placement: Best as a marginal plant in paludariums, ripariums, or pond edges.
• Submersion: Can tolerate shallow water but should not be fully submerged long-term.
• Propagation: Spreads through rhizome division.

Acorus gramineus ‘Variegatus’ is an excellent choice for adding texture and contrast to semi-aquatic setups but should not be used as a fully submerged aquarium plant.
