Description

Golden Nesea

Golden Nesea, also known as nesaea pedicellata, is a relatively new addition to US aquariums. It originates in West Africa and is distinguished by its beautiful gold and green leaves with red/pink stems. These plants generally belong in the background or midground of your tank, as they can grow vertically to over 12” tall! Place them in bunches to create a golden bush that provides great cover for fish or plant them individually for the occasional highlight.

Care & Maintenance

Golden Nesaea is pretty easy to care for since you don’t need to provide any CO2 supplementation or high lighting. If you want to provide plant supplements to help it grow faster, we recommend adding fertilizer to your substrate such as Thrive Root Zone Tabs.

When placing this plant in your tank, the experts at Modern Aquarium suggest moderate light and nutrition.

  • Minimum Lighting Required: Moderate
  • Temperature Range: 70°-82° F
  • Tank Placement: Midground - Background

    I noticed all these reviews are getting old. When I first started ordering from modern aquarium the plants look great My last two orders I must say have been disappointing. Will my last order some plants were actually rotten couldn't even use them can't believe they sent them now the plants I got we're not that great looking and the potted plants the size was way too small I'm not sure what happened to modern aquarium but it's not what it used to be.

    Arrived a beautiful gold and red color. So pretty in my aquarium. Each bunch has a good amount of clippings that ranged from 4-6 inches with good roots. Very happy with these plants.

    This is an amazing plant. When the plant first came it looked dead but I followed the 5 steps modern aquarium said to follow. Now my plants are looking beautiful. All of the leaves really have a golden look. The shipping was so quick I live in California and recieved the plants in 2 days. Will buy more plants from here

    The Golden Nesea is my favorite plant from my order. It's a beautiful golden shade and adds a great pop of color to my tank. It arrived in great shape and established quickly in my tank.

    Received big beautiful healthy stems. No hitchhikers. Fantastic color. Nice roots. Planted as a single bush and it makes a lovely focal point. No melt at all. I couldn't be happier with this purchase

    Plants came well packed and very healthy. No dead leaves or folded leaves. Beautiful plants and already sporting its golden color which perfectly contrasted with bright red stem. Looks very beautiful as a background plant and growing already within just a few days. A very good and highly recommended beginners plant which is not too demanding and very colorful.
