Limnophila repens

Limnophila repens is a smaller, more compact member of the ambulia family found across Southeast Asia. Its whorled, pinnately divided leaves are finer than standard Limnophila sessiliflora but carried on shorter internodes, giving it a bushier form well-suited to midground positioning. It is more forgiving than some specialty plants, tolerating moderate lighting and soft to slightly hard water. Under CO2 supplementation it grows with excellent density and bright green colouration, making it a versatile texture plant for both Dutch and Nature aquascape styles.

Light: Medium; 40–65 PAR; tolerates slightly lower light with some elongation. CO2: Beneficial; 15–25 ppm for tight internodes and full leaf density. Water: pH 6.0–7.5, soft to slightly hard. Planting: Plant groups of 5–7 stems in the midground; trim tops regularly. Growth: Moderate; branches well after trimming for a fuller appearance.
