Overview:

Lysimachia nummularia ‘Aurea’, commonly known as Golden Creeping Jenny, is a vibrant aquarium plant prized for its bright yellow to golden-green leaves. Its trailing growth habit adds colour, movement, and contrast to planted aquariums.

Under stronger lighting, the golden tones become more intense, creating a striking visual effect among darker green plants. It can be trained to creep along the substrate or allowed to grow upward, offering flexible aquascaping options.

Care and Growth:

Medium to high lighting helps maintain its vivid colouration, while CO₂ supplementation and regular fertilisation support faster, healthier growth. A nutrient-rich substrate encourages strong rooting and steady spread.

Regular trimming helps control growth and promotes bushier, denser plants. Cuttings can be replanted easily to achieve fuller coverage over time.

Key Features:

• Bright golden-yellow foliage
• Trailing growth habit adds movement
• Moderate to fast growth rate
• Best colour achieved under stronger lighting
• Ideal for foreground or midground planting
