CARDAMINE LYRATA – Trailing Japanese Marsh Plant for Freshwater Aquariums
Cardamine lyrata is a decorative marsh plant native to Japan, often used in freshwater aquariums for its trailing growth and graceful, light appearance. Underwater, it develops slender stems up to 50 cm tall with soft, round, light green leaves. It is ideal for background placement or edge zones in natural aquascapes.
This plant frequently develops aerial roots along its stems and grows quickly under good lighting and liquid fertilization. For optimal growth, keep the temperature below 28°C, as higher temperatures reduce leaf size. Cardamine lyrata can also be grown outdoors during the summer, making it suitable for garden ponds.
