Important data
Product description & details
Limnophila sessiliflora, also known as Ambulia or Asian Marshweed, comes from Southeast Asia and is an easy-care and undemanding plant and a good alternative to the light-requiring Cabomba. The stems grow up to 50 cm high but only 3-4 cm wide. The leaf color is a juicy light green, but in good lighting conditions the shoot tips turn bronze to reddish. If the lighting level is too low, it quickly shoots up, but this can be counteracted by adding CO2. Due to its fast growth, Limnophila sessiliflora is a good choice for initial planting in new aquariums. Like most stem plants, it looks most decorative when planted as a group.
