Glossostigma elatinoides is a popular foreground plant in aquascaping, particularly in traditional Iwagumi layouts. The plant is characterized by its low, compact growth and quickly develops a dense, green carpet with optimal lighting and CO₂ fertilization. The soft leaves allow for easy trimming and targeted shaping, contributing to the creation of clean lines and tight structures. Glossostigma elatinoides is suitable for aquariums with adequate light and can be cultivated in both nano and larger tanks.
