Aquarius uruguayensis is a submerged-leaved aquatic plant from South America, grown mainly in aquariums and water gardens. It does best in nutrient-rich substrate with good light, and grows more readily in subtropical warmth.
Aquarius uruguayensis is a plant species in the Alismataceae. It is native to South America (Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile).
Not often available, which is a pity as it is well suited to submerse growth. Can be propagated by division, though it tends to grow slowly. Not fussy as to water conditions and will grow in sub-tropical temperatures, in which it seems to bloom more readily. Likes a nutriment rich substrate and good light levels. Additional CO2 helps growth.
It will bloom readily if grown emerse, but takes a while to form a new set of emerse leaves. This change from submerse to emerse growth is best done gradually.
