Tropica Limnobium laevigatum CUP

Limnobium laevigatum or South American frog bite is an attractive floating plant with a function: it draws excess nutrients from the water and thus supports intact aquarium biology. It is ideal for open pools; the long, up to 30cm long roots not only look very natural, but they also serve as a welcome hiding place for young fish or as a spawning substrate for some ornamental fish. Like all floating plants, it likes it very bright, otherwise it is not demanding and grows quickly, but without overgrown. If the leaf cover steals too much light from other plants, simply remove a few leaves!

• Light requirement: very high - like all floating plants
• Optimal temperature: 10 to 34°C - very tolerant
• Water values: very soft to very hard - very high tolerance
• pH value: 5 to 8 - tolerant
• Addition of CO2 and nutrients: no claims
• Propagation: breaking apart (by itself), runners

Note: The cups are grown in the laboratory. Aquatic plants from the so-called in vitro culture are grown sterile. They are therefore also suitable for sensitive animals such as dwarf shrimp and can be used immediately. With in vitro plants, there are no stowaways such as snails or parasites, and pesticides are also completely avoided.
