Care Tips: Limnophila heterophylla is a fast-growing plant that is ideal for filling space quickly in aquariums. It requires medium to high lighting and does best with regular CO₂ supplementation. This plant can tolerate a variety of water conditions but prefers slightly acidic to neutral water. It may display vibrant purple and red hues in high light conditions. Regular pruning is essential to prevent it from becoming too leggy and to promote bushier growth. The plant can be used in the midground to background of aquariums and thrives in nutrient-rich substrates. Ensure adequate water changes and nutrient dosing for optimal health.
