Characteristics

Distribution map of Shinnersia rivularis 'Weiß-Grün'

Shinnersia rivularis 'Weiß-Grün' is a cultivar of the Mexican oak leaf, a member of the daisy family that grows in Texas and northern Mexico in streams and rivers with a gentle current.1 It was discovered in a nursery; it is characterised by white, yellowish to reddish leaf veins.123 According to the specialist book, the cultivar is virus-infected; in emersed culture the virus can pass to other plants such as Hygrophila and Anubias and cause serious damage there.1

With a height of 30–60 cm and shoots up to 10 cm wide, it is a background plant; as it grows quickly, it soon reaches the water surface. ()

Grows very fast and you quickly get cuttings. The plant was much paler than described, though.

Schöne Hintergrundpflanze

Wächst sehr schnell und man erhält schnell Stecklinge. Pflanze war allerdings viel blasser als beschrieben.

A super plant was delivered, which could easily be divided into 3 portions. If all 3 take root now, I'll have a stylish decorative background. Thank you very much :)

Begeistert

Es wurde eine Superpflanze geliefert, die sich ohne weiteres in 3 Portionen Teile ließ. Wenn jetzt alle 3 noch anwachsen, habe ich einen schicken dekorativen Hintergrund. Vielen Dank :)
