Important data
Product description & details
Limnophila aromatica (Rice Paddy Herb) is a stem plant with relatively dense leaves that comes from Southeast Asia. It has narrow, green to reddish leaves. In order to thrive, this otherwise relatively uncomplicated Limnophila needs sufficient light, a good supply of nutrients and enough CO2. It readily develops new, strong shoots at the base. To make room for these new shoots, the plant should be regularly thinned out by removing the oldest and longest shoots. Due to its height of up to 50cm, it is ideal for the background, but can also be used in the middle ground with regular pruning. Limnophila aromatica looks most beautiful when planted in groups. It is also ideal for Dutch-style aquariums.
