Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Red’ – Tropica potted

Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red' originates from India and resembles a medium-sized, broad-leaved Cryptocoryne. It can be used in a similar way in the aquarium, but sufficient lighting is important for showing its colours. Its slow growth supports a gradually developing rosette rather than rapid coverage.

Broad leaves with several tones

Individual leaves measure about 4–8 cm wide and 6–12 cm long. The whole plant therefore becomes relatively broad. Dusty green, bright violet and red-violet tones can occur on the same leaf, while new leaves emerge pale pink. This combination is more varied than a uniform red colour.

Plan for the width

Give Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red' room to show the broad leaves without crowding smaller plants. Its plant information lists low baseline light and CO2 demands, while the descriptive guidance emphasises sufficient light for colour development. This Tropica potted listing includes a video offering another view of its leaf shape and colour range.
