✂️ Care
Rinse the plant thoroughly under lukewarm water before planting. Plant the stems in groups in the mid- or background. Plenty of light and CO₂ are essential for the most beautiful pink-red color. Prune regularly and replant the tops for a denser, fuller group. Liquid fertilizer like Sera Florena supports healthy growth.
💡 Planting tip
The pink-red color provides a warm, striking accent in the mid- or background. Combines beautifully with fresh green plants like Limnophila Sessiliflora or Vallisneria for maximum color contrast.
❓ Frequently asked questions
My plant is turning green instead of red — what's wrong?
This is caused by too little light or CO₂. Increase the light intensity and ensure sufficient CO₂ for the most beautiful red coloration.
Is CO₂ truly mandatory?
Yes, Limnophila Aromatica only grows well with CO₂. Without CO₂, the plant grows poorly and loses its color.
Is this plant suitable for a shrimp tank?
Yes, completely shrimp-friendly — provided it's thoroughly rinsed before planting.
