Description

This milfoil was introduced to Japan, and since 2010, it has been cultivated in Europe as well. The name "Roraima" suggests its origin is from the Brazilian state of Roraima, but no specific locality information is available. This Myriophyllum species is known for its fast growth rate and ease of cultivation, making it a popular choice for aquariums. Its leaves are intensely brown to orange-red in color, with reddish-brown stems. The plant can grow up to 50 cm long and 5 cm wide, with regularly branched shoots.
