Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Green’ is a popular aquatic plant species often used in freshwater aquariums. It belongs to the Araceae family and is native to Southeast Asia, specifically found in countries like India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh.
This plant is known for its vibrant green leaves, which can vary in shape and size depending on the growth conditions and the specific variety within the species. The leaves are typically broad and elongated, often with wavy or rippled edges, giving them an attractive appearance. The plant’s overall height can range from a few inches to several inches, making it suitable for both foreground and midground placement in aquariums.
Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Green’ is a relatively hardy plant that can adapt to a wide range of water parameters. It thrives in moderate to high lighting conditions and prefers nutrient-rich substrates. CO2 supplementation is beneficial for promoting robust growth, but it can still survive in low CO2 environments.
In terms of care, regular pruning and removal of old or damaged leaves are recommended to maintain the plant’s health and appearance. It is also essential to provide adequate water circulation to prevent the accumulation of debris and algae on the leaves.
Propagation of Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Green’ is primarily achieved through division. As the plant grows, it produces multiple rhizomes, which can be carefully separated and replanted to establish new individuals. With proper care and favorable conditions, this plant can create dense, lush green carpets or clusters in aquariums, adding a beautiful touch to the underwater landscape.
