Some Information:
Light: Moderate to High
Growth: Fast!
Demands: Easy plant to grow.
Pruning: Top & replant or simply top.
Unlike most stem plants, this one develops
a relativly decent root structure.

Propagation: Easy to propagate via cuttings.

Experiences: I got this from an Asian import
that AC did. Like most imports, it was in pretty
sad shape when I got it. I floated it for a few
days then planted the stubby little stems. Once
it established some roots, growth took off and
it shot to the surface with long internodes. After
the first pruning, I got rid of the bottoms and
replanted the tops. These gave me good looking growth
as in the picture above. Like another Limnophila
species, you can detect a slight pleasent odor
when the stems are cut. The picture above was taken 6 weeks after I first got this plant in(as small
stubby little stems). You can see - it grows fast!
