Limnophila sessiliflora

Product description

About the species

Limnophila sessiliflora is a beautiful and unpretentious plant from Southeast Asia. A good alternative to Cabomba, which does not require much light. The stems grow quickly up to 40 cm high and become 3-4 cm wide.

The plant often becomes leggy in poor light, but this can be counteracted to some extent by stimulating growth with CO2 addition. Most attractive when planted in groups. In good growing conditions, it sends out runners and spreads over the bottom. Limnophila sessiliflora used to be called "Ambulia".

FAQ about Limnophila sessiliflora

How do I attach Limnophila sessiliflora?

Divide the moss into thin portions and attach it to rock or wood with thread or aquarium-safe glue. Thin layers receive better circulation and usually grow more evenly.

Does Limnophila sessiliflora need CO₂?

Most aquarium mosses grow without added CO₂, but steady CO₂, balanced nutrition and stable lighting can produce denser growth.

How do I keep Limnophila sessiliflora looking good?

Trim regularly and remove loose pieces and debris. Good circulation around the moss reduces trapped dirt that can inhibit growth.

Is the moss suitable for a shrimp aquarium?

Yes, moss provides a large biofilm grazing area and fine hiding places for shrimplets. Always check that the plant is clean before adding it to the aquarium.
