Overview: Hailing from the Acanthaceae family, Staurogyne sp. Brown is one of the most popular aquarium plants. Although the genes Staurogyne have multiple varieties of aquarium plants, this particular specie is known for its typical green and broad leaves that eventually turn brown under submerged conditions. While some aquarists prefer plating it as a mid-ground plant, it can also be used as a foreground plant due to its small growing habit. When the plant is provided with enough nutrients and high light, the leaves start turning brownish, clearly explaining why it is named so.

It makes the tank look unique and the plant different from other aquarium plants. It is suitable for both- mid-ground and foreground settings.
