Pine needles are one of the submerged plants of the family Pineaceae of the phylum Angiospermae. Pine needles are characterized by their stiffness and thread-like thinness like pine needles. In this article, we will explain the characteristics of Matsumo and how to grow it.

Pinus pinaster is one of the submerged plants of the family Pinaceae of the phylum Magnoliophyta. It is one of the varieties commonly known as goldfish algae, as well as anacaris and cabomba. Matsumo is characterized by its stiff and thread-like thinness like a pine leaf.
The leaves are dark green in color and reflect light, giving off a very beautiful color. Matsumo is found all over the world, and has been a native species in Japan since ancient times.
Pine needles are classified as one of the most adaptable types of water plants to the environment.
They prefer water temperatures in the 15-26°C range. It also prefers slightly acidic to slightly alkaline water. Pine needles are not photosynthetically active, so they rarely die even in areas with little sunlight.
It is also a good match for new aquariums, as it is unlikely to die even in areas where bacteria and other nutrients are scarce.
However, please note that pine need light if they are to photosynthesize well and remain healthy, so if there is no sunlight, use LED lights to provide light.
The care of Matsumo is,This includes thinning out unwanted parts of the leaves and removing leaves that are getting old and turning brown.
Also, since each leaf of the pineapple overlaps each other, you can keep it more beautiful by cutting and discarding the old side shoots.
One way to increase the number of Pinus pinaster is to cut off the side shoots that grow during the process of Pinus pinaster's growth. You can easily increase the number of shoots by cutting off the parts that are producing side shoots. Pine needles often produce side shoots, so once they have grown to a certain length, it is possible to increase the number of shoots.
When many side shoots of Pinus pinaster begin to appear, cutting the old leaves at the base of the plant will eliminate the old leaves and promote growth.
Pine needles are the most commonly used variety of aquatic plant to be placed with goldfish.
If you put pine cones in with your goldfish, they will eat the leaves of the pine cones, which will reduce the number of pine cones and make them look unattractive. If you are able to increase the number of pine cones, store them in another container (bucket, etc.) that does not contain goldfish, and add them when the goldfish run out of pine cones. You will always have a good looking matsumo.
Also, if you put a large amount of Pine Saplings in a tank or other container, some areas will be exposed to light and others will not, which may be detrimental to the growth of the Pine Saplings.
