Out of stock
An extremely beautiful aquarium plant circled by light-green and finely branched leaves from South-East Asia. In the right growing conditions with added CO2 and a nutritious bottom this plant grows fast and can become 25-50 cm long and each stem up to 15 cm wide. In good light it forms horizontal side shoots and becomes attractive and bushy.
Most decorative when several stems are planted in a small group. In open aquariums it sometimes sends shoots above the water surface, forming small blue flowers. Hippuridoides are green with a red-violet underside. The whole leaf turns red-violet under ideal growing conditions. A vigorously growing plant that willingly creates new, solid shoots from the base.
Natural History
A beautiful stem plant from the Malayan peninsula, often erroneously called Limnophila aromatica. It is closely related to L. aromatica and L. aromaticoides. In botanical literature it has hitherto been treated as species in its own right.
Pro Tips
Thin out the oldest and longest shoots to make room for such new shoots. Replant the cuttings and they will soon grow new roots.
