Tropica 1-2-Grow! Lobelia cardinalis 'Mini'

Lobelia cardinalis 'Mini' is a compact, bright-green stem plant that brings structure and contrast to aquascapes. A smaller version of the well-known Lobelia cardinalis, this variety stays low and spreads horizontally, forming dense cushions of rounded leaves. Its vibrant green tone and neat growth pattern make it perfect for foreground or midground placement in both low- and high-tech aquariums. The Tropica 1-2-Grow! tissue culture cup ensures a pest-free, healthy start for easy integration into your aquascape.
