Care Tips: Lagenandra thwaitesii is a rare and beautiful plant with broad, textured leaves that vary in shades of green to reddish-bronze depending on lighting and nutrient conditions. It resembles Cryptocoryne species in care and behavior and prefers low to medium light levels. It does not require COâ‚‚ but will benefit from stable water parameters and nutrient-rich substrate. Like Crypts, it can be slow to establish and may go through a melt phase before regrowing. It prefers minimal disturbance once planted and appreciates root fertilization. Ideal for a low-energy setup, it adds lush foliage and a touch of exotic appeal in the foreground to midground areas of the aquarium.
