Lindernia rotundifolia | Potted Live Aquarium Plant

Add lush, vibrant greenery to your aquascape with Lindernia rotundifolia, a versatile and fast-growing stem plant that's perfect for beginners and experienced aquarists alike. Lindernia rotundifolia features small, rounded bright green leaves that grow densely along its stems, creating a soft, natural look in any freshwater aquarium. It thrives in a wide range of aquarium conditions and is an excellent choice for low-tech or high-tech planted tanks.

Easy to grow and quick to establish, this attractive plant responds well to regular trimming, encouraging dense, bushy growth that is ideal for creating a beautiful midground or background feature.

Remove the plant from the pot and gently wash away the rock wool surrounding the roots. Separate the stems if desired and plant them individually a few centimetres apart into a nutrient-rich substrate. As the plant grows, regular trimming will encourage branching and produce a thick, healthy group of stems.
