ADA Tissue Culture Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red'

This Lagenandra from the south-west of India has not long been known as an aquarium plant. In Europe, it is also found in trade under the name Lagenandra meeboldii "Pink", but it differs from the plant traded under the same name in the USA. This Lagenandra looks a lot like a medium-sized wide-leaved Cryptocoryne. Under good light, it has a nice orange-brown to pink leaf color. It grows to 10 to 30 cm in height and has a spreading growth habit. Other than most crypts, it does not form underground runners but has a thick rhizome. A nutrient-rich substrate is recommendable for Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red'.
