Ecoscape Limnophila Australis - In Vitro

You will receive: 1 In Vitro cup (Ecoscape) — completely free of algae, snails, and pathogens. Ready to plant directly into any aquarium.

⚠️ Level: Medium — Limnophila Australis requires normal light and calm water flow for the most beautiful leaf whorls.

Limnophila Australis, also known as Giant Limnophila, is an impressive stem plant with leaf whorls that can reach up to 12 cm in diameter. When the plant reaches 25 cm, it changes color from dull green at the bottom to light green at the top — a unique color gradient. The Ecoscape In Vitro version is 100% sterile grown — ideal for shrimp tanks and sensitive aquariums.

⚠️ Note: Do not place in current — the large leaf whorls are sensitive to strong water movement.

✂️ Care

Rinse the culture gel carefully under lukewarm water. Plant the stems in the background, out of the current. The large leaf whorls are sensitive to strong water movement — choose a calm spot in the aquarium. CO₂ promotes healthy growth. Prune regularly and replant the tops for a denser group. Liquid nutrition such as Sera Florena supports healthy growth.

💡 Planter's Tip

The impressive leaf whorls (up to 12 cm in diameter) make Limnophila Australis a real eye-catcher in the background. It combines beautifully with fine-leaved plants like Limnophila Sessiliflora for a varied, layered background.
