Tropica 1-2 Grow Limnobium laevigatum

Limnobium laevigatum, commonly known as Amazon frogbit, is an exquisite floating aquarium plant native to South America, making it a captivating addition to open aquariums.
This plant typically grows to a height of 1-5 cm, with leaves that span from 5-15 cm wide, creating a visually striking display. Its delicate, lengthy roots not only provide an aesthetic appeal but also serve as a protective habitat for gouramies and other surface-dwelling fish.
Lighting and Fertilization
In optimal conditions with plentiful nutrients and ample light, new leaves will emerge above the water surface, adding to the plant’s allure. However, to ensure that the underlying plants receive sufficient light, it may be necessary to selectively prune the Amazon frogbit. Additionally, the plant’s growth rate serves as a valuable indicator of the nutrient levels in the water, slowing down when nutrients are scarce, making it a useful gauge for water quality.
