LIMNOPHILA SESSILIFLORA – Fast-Growing Stem Plant, Alternative to Cabomba
LIMNOPHILA SESSILIFLORA is a popular stem plant from Southeast Asia, valued for its rapid growth and feather-like foliage. When emersed, it appears as a compact dwarf plant, but once submerged, it develops finely divided leaves in a vibrant light green shade. Under strong lighting, the shoot tips take on a beautiful rust-brown hue.
It is an excellent, easier-to-maintain alternative to light-demanding Cabomba species. Best planted in dense groups in the background of the aquarium, it creates a lush, bushy appearance. It thrives in a wide range of water parameters but benefits greatly from CO₂ supplementation and regular fertilization.

• Fast-growing stem plant from Southeast Asia
• Fine feathered green leaves, with rusty tips under strong light
