C30 Limnophila aromatica ‘Mini’ – Compact Purple Stem Aquarium Plant

Detailed Product Description

C30 Limnophila aromatica ‘Mini’ is a dwarf form of Limnophila aromatica, valued for its compact size, intense coloration, and fine leaf structure. Compared to the standard variety, this ‘Mini’ version stays shorter and denser, making it perfect for midground placement in high-tech aquascapes.

Under strong lighting and consistent CO₂ injection, the leaves develop vibrant green tops with deep purple to violet undersides, creating striking contrast and movement. Regular trimming encourages bushier growth and maintains its compact form. Due to its higher demands for light and nutrients, this plant is best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists.

Limnophila aromatica ‘Mini’ is fully shrimp-safe and fish-safe, making it suitable for community aquariums, display tanks, and competition-style aquascaping.
