Tropica Cardamine

Cardamine lyrata, native to Japanese marshes, is a versatile aquatic plant prized for its trailing stems that can reach 20-50 cm underwater. Its distinctive growth habit and occasional aerial roots add visual interest, making it ideal for group planting in aquariums. To maintain optimal form and leaf size, keep water temperatures below 28°C, as higher temperatures cause legginess and smaller leaves. This species also adapts well to garden ponds during summer, offering both aesthetic appeal and ecological value. Perfect for aquarists seeking a natural, elegant addition to their aquatic environment.
