Overview:

Limnobium laevigatum, commonly known as Amazon Frogbit, is a popular floating plant valued for its round, bright green leaves and long, trailing roots. Supplied in an in-vitro cup, this plant is grown in sterile laboratory conditions, ensuring it is free from pests, algae, and snails.

Its broad leaves provide gentle surface shading, while the dangling roots create a natural refuge for fish and shrimp. Limnobium laevigatum is ideal for creating a calm, natural-looking aquarium environment and for reducing excess light and nutrients.

Care and Growth:

This floating plant thrives under low to moderate lighting and prefers calm surface conditions. It absorbs nutrients directly from the water column, helping to reduce nitrates and improve water quality. CO₂ injection is not required.

Limnobium laevigatum propagates rapidly by producing daughter plants connected by short runners. Growth can be easily controlled by removing excess plants to prevent full surface coverage.

• Attractive floating plant with round, bright green leaves
• Long trailing roots provide shelter for fish and shrimp
• In vitro grown—free from pests, algae, and snails
• Low light and low maintenance requirements
• Helps absorb excess nutrients from the water
• Easy to manage and fast propagating
