Limnophila heterophylla

Limnophila heterophylla is a fascinating species whose name refers to the different leaf forms it produces — fine, feathery submersed leaves contrast with broader emersed leaves. The delicate whorled submersed growth has a soft, luminous green appearance that adds excellent texture to planted layouts. A fast grower that aids nutrient export in high-tech setups.

Plant in groups at the back of the aquarium. Trim tops regularly and replant cuttings to maintain bushy, dense growth. No CO2 required but grows faster with supplementation. Compatible with most fish and shrimp. Fast nutrient uptake makes it a good algae competitor in new tanks.
