Care Tips: Gymnocoronis spilanthoides variegatus, also known as "Variegated Swampweed," is a striking aquatic plant that has bright, variegated leaves with white and green patterns, making it a great addition to any aquascape. It thrives in medium to high lighting, which encourages vibrant leaf coloration and denser growth. This plant prefers a nutrient-rich substrate and benefits from regular fertilization, particularly with micronutrients and iron. CO₂ supplementation is recommended for optimal growth and to avoid legginess. Gymnocoronis spilanthoides variegatus is a fast-growing plant and can quickly fill up space in the midground or background of an aquarium. It may require frequent trimming to control its size and maintain its compact form. This plant is adaptable to a range of water conditions but performs best in stable, slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.5). It’s ideal for aquascapers looking for a colorful, fast-growing plant with an eye-catching appearance.
