Care Tips: Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red Round' is a unique and slow-growing plant known for its rounded, red to bronze-colored leaves. This species thrives in low to medium light and does well in low-tech aquariums. It should be placed in a nutrient-rich substrate, and root fertilization (such as root tabs) will help support its growth. Avoid burying its rhizome in the substrate to prevent rot. While it doesn't require CO₂, adding it can enhance growth and coloration. Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red Round' is best placed in the foreground or midground, adding a beautiful pop of color and texture. It grows slowly, so patience is required, but it will reward you with its attractive foliage over time.
