Staurogyne sp. Porto Velho - Lead Bunch

Staurogyne sp. 'Porto Velho' is a compact, bushy foreground-to-midground plant with small bright green leaves. It is lower and more spreading than the more common Staurogyne repens, which makes it an excellent choice for filling in the front third of a scape.

Growth is slow and controlled, so it rarely needs heavy trimming. Pinch back the tops occasionally and it will branch outward rather than upward.
