Lagenandra meeboldii 'Pink'

Lagenandra meeboldii 'Pink' is a soft rose to salmon-pink leafed form of this attractive aroid species from India and Sri Lanka. The broad, slightly corrugated leaves display a pale but warm pink colouration that stands out distinctively among the deep greens and reds of a typical planted aquarium or paludarium. Its colours are best expressed in moderate to good lighting with adequate iron and micronutrient supplementation. Like all Lagenandra, it can be grown fully submerged or in emersed culture, making it highly versatile. It grows steadily and is long-lived with appropriate care. A graceful and unusual specimen plant for the adventurous aquascaper.
