Lysimachia parvifolia ‘Red’ Tropica 1-2 Grow!
Lysimachia parvifolia ‘Red’ Tropica 1-2 Grow!
Lysimachia parvifolia ‘Red’ Tropica 1-2 Grow!

Product Description

Under simple aquarium conditions, Lysimachia parvifolia ‘Red’ already develops a reddish coloration. With improved lighting and good nutrient availability, the leaves become increasingly intense in colour, making it an attractive accent plant in the midground or background.

The submerged leaves are small, rounded and resemble baby spinach, which is why the plant is sometimes referred to as Samolus parviflorus ‘Red’. The true Samolus parviflorus is a green aquarium plant with a very similar leaf shape, but Lysimachia parvifolia stands out due to its red hues.

Growth is upright and compact when regularly trimmed, and the plant responds well to replanting of cut shoots. Stable conditions and a balanced nutrient supply ensure the best colour development.

Outside the aquarium hobby, Lysimachia parvifolia has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as an anti-inflammatory herb.

  • Best UK Aquascaping

    Dave and the guys at Aquarium Gardens are without doubt the leaders in their field of Aquascaping. My wife and I have visited several times over the last couple of years and have always received fantastic advice and guidance. Two years ago we had one small tank, we now have three aquascapes all running CO2, this definitely wouldn’t be possible without all the support from the guys at Aquarium Gardens. Carry on doing what you’re doing because your business model is superb…..thanks once again Malcolm & Cheryl Orgill

  • Quick service, fantastic plants

    I have ordered from Aquarium Gardens for the first time after seeing them on social media. Well what can I say except WOW, the plants were a really good price, they arrived on time actually quicker than I expected! They arrived in absolutely fantastic condition as if I had picked them out myself, well packaged. The plants themselves were bigger than what I expected to get so definitely value for money and the root systems were well established, can't wait to see them get bigger in my aquariums. Will definitely buy from this company again.
