LIMNOPHILA AQUATICA – Fast-Growing Aquarium Plant with Bright Green Foliage and Bushy Appearance
Limnophila aquatica is a fast-growing aquarium plant native to Southeast Asia, admired for its finely divided, light green leaves and its elegant, bushy growth. Under the right conditions—strong lighting, CO₂ injection, and a nutrient-rich substrate—this plant thrives quickly, reaching heights of 25–50 cm and spreading up to 15 cm per stem, making it an ideal background plant for aquascapes with depth and structure.
With sufficient light, Limnophila aquatica produces lateral horizontal shoots, developing into a dense, decorative bush. In open-top aquariums, it may grow above the water surface and produce small, delicate blue flowers, adding a beautiful natural element to the tank.
Best results are achieved by planting several stems in a compact group. It is easy to trim and propagate through cuttings, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced aquascapers looking for a visually striking and fast-growing background plant.
