	Plant info needed on Limnophilla Aromaticoides
spyder Enthusiast Posts: 155 Kudos: 47 Votes: 1 Registered: 08-Mar-2003	I purchased this plant at the NEC convention this past weekend and I am unable to find info on it. The name was posted on the bag as a "Limnophilla Aromaticoides". Any help on the plants requirements would be appreciated. Last edited by spyder at 22-Mar-2005 07:13

Needs good light, co2 would help. In poor light loses it's color and leaves. In good conditions one of the most beautiful plants around. More info here http://www.tropica.com Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

I will move it today to my 120 gallon tank with 2.5 wpg. I am adding CO2 to this tank, an automatic system. I got everything to do it, just need to hook it all up. Hopefully I'll have it hooked up tonight and I can start running it tomorrow AM. Thank you again for your help. Michael

If you want the really nice purple color make sure it's not shaded. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
