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

One of my favorites
Posted by Alexz Gimon on 5 Aug 2023Arrived 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.

Golden nesea
Posted by Isaac Delgado on 2 May 2022This 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

Golden Nesea
Posted by AeXzer Anthony on 6 Oct 2021Plants 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.

Beautiful
Posted by Eric on 29 Apr 2021This is a beautiful plant. The leaves are slightly more golden (yellow) than in the picture and it adds a stunning contrast to the rest of the greenery in my tank. A week after planting, I'm experiencing some plant melt, which is expected. Overall, a great addition to my tank
