Lagenandra meeboldi 'red' - Extra Large Pots

Lagenandra meeboldii “Red” is an Easy category that’s supplied in pots from Tropica. It’s a slow growing rhizome plant that will typically grow up to 15cm tall with the leaves reaching up to 8cm wide. The leaf colour starts as a dusty green colour when grown hydroponically in the Tropica greenhouses and turns different shades depending on the growing conditions in the aquarium. Generally speaking more intense light will promote more red colouration in the leaves.

Lagenandra meedboldii “Red” is best used as a midground plant in most size aquariums or a focal point plant in smaller tanks. Depending on the aquarium lighting levels the plant can make a distinctive feature with its colouration, so this can be used to either contrast or harmonise with other plant species, depending on the style of aquascape. Its leaf growth pattern can cause shadowing around the plant so consider this with any species you intend to use next to it. Because it does not send out runners you can rest assured it will remain in the same location, which makes it ideal for the long-term in your aquarium.

Lagenandra meeboldii “Red” is a wonderful plant suitable for all levels of planted aquarium keepers and aquarium sizes. It’s easy to care for nature combined with unique colouration make it a perfect addition for those wanting to try something a little different from the ever popular Cryptocoryne genus.
