A pack of five pots of Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red'.
A broad-leaved aquarium plant native to India, suited to the middle zone of a planted tank where it gives the layout a splash of colour against smaller foreground species. Under reasonably strong lighting it develops dusty green, violet and red-violet tones, with new leaves emerging pale pink. It's a good option whether you already grow Cryptocoryne species or are trying your first coloured aquarium plant.
Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red' is a broad-leaved aquarium plant from India that behaves much like a medium-sized Cryptocoryne, but stands apart for its colouring, which can shift from dusty green through bright violet to red-violet, often on the same leaf. The contrast helps break up an otherwise green-dominated layout.
Leaves grow 4 to 8cm wide and 6 to 12cm long, so the plant takes on a noticeably wide, fuller profile once established. New leaves open pale pink before darkening into the plant's mature colouring.
Colour intensity depends on light. Reasonably strong lighting is needed to bring out the violet and red-violet shades; under weaker light the plant is likely to stay closer to green.
It's used in the aquarium the same way as Cryptocoryne species, making it straightforward to work into an existing midground planting scheme.
What you get: a pack of five pots of Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red', ready to plant into your substrate.
