Description
Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Green’ is a sturdy, crypt-like rosette plant with thick, leathery, lance-shaped green leaves on firm stalks. A close relative of Cryptocoryne, Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Green’ has the same low-tech toughness but bolder, more substantial foliage, making it a handsome midground feature that holds up well in a planted aquascape.
Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Green’ grows slowly in low to moderate light without CO₂ and feeds heavily from the substrate via a creeping rhizome. Plant Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Green’ with the rhizome just at the substrate surface and add root tabs; it is less prone to melting than true crypts but still appreciates patience while it settles.
Robust and almost carefree once established, Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Green’ is excellent for beginners and for low-tech, community, shrimp and betta tanks. Its firm leaves resist nibbling, so add Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Green’ for easy, bold green structure in the midground.
