Care Tips: Nomaphila sp. Variegatus, also known as Variegated Nomaphila, is an attractive aquatic plant with colorful, variegated foliage, characterized by its green leaves with yellow or cream margins. It prefers medium to high lighting conditions to maintain its vibrant color and grow healthily. The plant thrives in temperatures between 22–28°C and tolerates slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0–7.5). With a medium growth rate, it can reach up to 40 cm in height, making it well-suited for midground or background placement in aquascapes. Nomaphila sp. Variegatus does well in nutrient-rich substrate and can benefit from CO2 supplementation and regular liquid fertilization to enhance its growth and coloration. It requires occasional trimming to maintain its shape and prevent overgrowth, as it can spread rapidly under ideal conditions. Propagate by cutting the stems and replanting them in the substrate. This plant can add a unique splash of color to your aquarium, but ensure it has enough space to grow without crowding out other plants.
