Frequently Asked Questions
Will this plant turn red-violet?
Will this plant turn red-violet?
Under ideal growing conditions the whole leaf can turn red-violet. Normally, the leaves are green with a red-violet underside.
How do I keep this plant tidy as it grows?
How do I keep this plant tidy as it grows?
It grows vigorously and sends up new shoots from the base, so thin out the oldest, longest stems periodically. The trimmed cuttings can be replanted and will root again.
Where should I place it in my aquarium?
Where should I place it in my aquarium?
It's suited to the background of the aquascape, where its upright growth and curling shoot tips add height and texture behind shorter plants.
Suitable for aquascapers who want a tall background stem plant, Limnophila hippuridoides adapts to a range of water conditions, helping add height, colour and texture to the back of a planted aquarium.
Limnophila hippuridoides is a stem plant from Asia with tall, upright shoots that often curl outward at the tip, giving the plant a looser, more textured shape in the aquascape. It suits aquascapers who want a background plant that copes well with different water conditions, helping keep the overall setup straightforward to maintain.
You get a pack of five pots of Limnophila hippuridoides, supplied ready to plant into your aquarium substrate.
The leaves are green with a red-violet underside, and under strong growing conditions the whole leaf can turn red-violet, adding colour contrast at the back of the tank. It also grows vigorously, sending up new, solid shoots from the base as it matures.
Because growth is vigorous, thinning out the oldest and longest stems is worthwhile as the plant develops; replanted cuttings will root again and grow into new plants. Note that damaged stems or leaves release a noticeable scent, which is a natural trait of this species rather than a cause for concern.
