Care Tips: Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red Long' is a slow-growing aquatic plant known for its long, lance-shaped leaves with a striking red to bronze coloration. This plant thrives in low to medium lighting and does well in low-tech setups, though it will benefit from stable water parameters. A nutrient-rich substrate and root fertilization (e.g., root tabs) will support its slow growth. Avoid burying its rhizome in the substrate to prevent rot, and attach it to rocks or driftwood for the best results. CO₂ injection is not necessary but can promote more vibrant growth and enhanced coloration. Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red Long' is perfect for the midground or background of the aquarium, adding a unique texture and color contrast. It grows slowly, so it’s ideal for aquascapes where patience is rewarded with elegant, long-lasting beauty.
