Red Milfoil (Myriophyllum papillosum) is a stunning Australian native aquatic plant, prized in the aquarium hobby for its finely pinnate, feathery whorls of leaves that develop a beautiful warm red to copper colouration under good light. One of the few truly native Australian aquarium plants, it brings a unique provenance and ecological story to any planted tank, while its delicate, intricate foliage adds exceptional softness and texture to the background of any aquascape. Fast-growing and relatively adaptable, it is a rewarding choice for aquarists looking to celebrate Australian aquatic flora.
Propagation: Take stem cuttings of 5–10cm, remove lower leaves, and replant into the substrate. Grows readily and benefits from regular trimming to maintain density and shape.

This Milfoil looked better when it first arrived [pink stems - wow!]. They are growing so well I just need to perfect the conditions for the stems.
