Nymphoides thunbergiana

Nymphoides thunbergiana is a floatingheart species distributed across East Asian wetlands, marshes, and slow rivers. Its round floating leaves provide a lily-pad aesthetic in open-top aquariums, while the submerged runners and leaves contribute structural interest below the surface. It is less demanding than most specialty plants and tolerates a relatively wide range of water conditions, making it accessible to intermediate hobbyists who want the paludarium aesthetic without extreme parameter management.
