Limnophila Aromatica Mini

Limnophila aromatica 'Mini', also known as Mini Limnophila Aromatica or simply Mini Aromatica, is a compact and delightful variant of the well-loved Limnophila Aromatica species. Originating from Southeast Asia, this aquatic plant is favored for its smaller size and vibrant coloration, making it an excellent choice for aquascaping enthusiasts looking to add a splash of color to their aquariums.

In appearance, Limnophila aromatica 'Mini' features delicate, finely pinnate leaves that range from green to reddish-purple depending on light intensity and nutrient levels. Under higher light conditions and with ample nutrient availability, its leaves exhibit a rich red hue, enhancing its aesthetic appeal in aquascapes. This plant typically grows compactly and vertically, reaching heights of up to 10-20 cm (4-8 inches), making it suitable for midground to background placements in smaller tanks or as a foreground accent in larger setups.

Care for Limnophila aromatica 'Mini' involves providing moderate to high lighting and nutrient-rich substrate to support its growth and vibrant coloration. It thrives in temperatures ranging from 22-28°C (72-82°F) and prefers slightly acidic to neutral water conditions with a pH level between 6.0-7.5. Regular pruning helps maintain its bushy appearance and encourages lateral growth, creating dense and lush clusters that enhance the overall visual impact of the aquarium.
