Limnophila Sessiliflora

• Easy to grow
• CO2 is optional but beneficial to the plant

Appearance

• Characterized by its delicate, bright green, needle-like leaves arranged in whorls around the stem. It is a fast-growing plant that can reach up to 40cm in height and 3-4cm in width. Under good lighting conditions, it can develop reddish-brown shoot tips.

Growth rate

• Fast-Growing

Lighting

• Can grow under medium light but does better with higher light, which can encourage more compact and colorful growth.

Placement

• Ideal for the background of an aquarium where it can form a dense, bushy group. It looks best when planted in clusters, providing a natural, lush look.

Planting

• It is better to plant this plant with about 5 cm between each one and to make sure that it will not shade other plants.You simply need to plant it deep enough in the substrate to keep it from floating up.If you decide to plant it after trimming and it keeps floating, you can leave it floating until its root system develops and it is ready to be planted in the substrate. (it’s not recommended to leave it in this state for the long term)

Algae

• Can experience algae problems due to imbalances in the aquarium environment. Excess nutrients (especially iron), insufficient CO2, or inadequate lighting can all contribute to algae growth.
• Snails (like Ramshorn or Amano shrimp) and algae-eating fish (like Ottocinclus or juvenile SAEs) can help control algae growth
