Description
Limnophila aromatica is a striking stem plant with narrow, serrated leaves that are green on top and purple-red underneath, often flushing fully purple under strong light. A favourite for the background of nature aquascapes, Limnophila aromatica grows into tall, elegant stems that sway and add vertical height to a planted tank.
Limnophila aromatica is surprisingly adaptable and will grow in low-tech tanks, but it needs good light and ideally CO₂ to show its best purple colour and compact internodes. Plant Limnophila aromatica in groups in a nutrient-rich substrate, dose trace elements, and trim the tops to replant; it is relatively slow for a stem, so trimming is infrequent.
Hardy enough for improving beginners yet beautiful enough for show tanks, Limnophila aromatica is a versatile background plant that is safe for community and shrimp aquariums. Add Limnophila aromatica when you want tall, aromatic purple-green stems with real presence.
