NYMPHOIDES HYDROPHYLLA "TAIWAN" – Fast-Growing Rosette Aquarium Plant with Light Green Translucent Leaves
Nymphoides hydrophylla "Taiwan" is a highly decorative rosette plant originating from southern Taiwan, part of the Nymphoides genus found in both Asia and Africa. Known for its fast growth and bright light green, translucent underwater leaves, this plant adds a natural, vibrant touch to planted aquariums.
It grows to a height of 15–25 cm and spreads 10–15 cm wide, making it ideal for midground or background placement. Due to its rapid growth, regular pruning is required—older or floating leaves should be removed to maintain a neat appearance and promote new rosette development.
While Nymphoides hydrophylla "Taiwan" is relatively easy to care for, it thrives best under nutrient-rich conditions with fertilized substrates and liquid fertilization. The plant naturally propagates by sprouting new shoots from mature leaf stalks, making it simple to reproduce in the aquarium.
