Transform your aquarium into a lush aquatic landscape with Lagenandra Red, a unique plant species admired for its warm red tones and elegant leaf structure. Native to India, this plant is part of the Araceae family and closely related to Cryptocoryne species, making it just as resilient and easy to care for.

Appearance & Growth:
The broad, slightly ruffled leaves display a beautiful range of colors — from olive green to reddish-brown — depending on lighting and nutrients. The plant’s compact growth pattern makes it an excellent choice for midground or background aquascaping, offering depth and visual contrast.

Care Requirements:
Lagenandra Red thrives in a temperature range of 22°C to 28°C with moderate lighting. While CO₂ supplementation is not strictly required, it significantly enhances coloration and growth rate. The plant adapts well to most substrates, though nutrient-rich soil is ideal for long-term health.

Maintenance:
This species is beginner-friendly — it grows steadily and requires minimal trimming. As it establishes, it develops strong root systems that help stabilize the aquarium substrate.

Placement Tip:
Position the plant in a spot where moderate light can reach its leaves. Avoid frequent relocation, as Lagenandra species prefer stable conditions.

Aquascaping Benefits:

• Adds a natural red tone to green-dominated tanks

• Provides cover and visual interest

• Supports healthy biological balance by absorbing excess nutrients

Whether you’re starting your first planted tank or refining your aquascape, Lagenandra Red (5cm pot) brings beauty, simplicity, and balance to your underwater world.
