{"product_id":"limnophila-sessiliflora","title":"Limnophila Sessiliflora","description":"\u003cp\u003eLimnophila sessiliflora is a fast-growing stem plant with whorls of fine, feathery leaves arranged up the stem, giving a soft texture that contrasts well against broad-leaved plants and hardscape. It is genuinely easy to grow, which is both its main appeal and the thing to plan for: in a well-lit tank it will reach the surface and keep going.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing it in your tank\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant stems individually in the substrate, spaced apart so light reaches the lower leaves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows quickly under moderate to strong light and takes up nutrients as it does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrim regularly — cuttings can simply be replanted to thicken the stand.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUndemanding about water chemistry, and does not require carbon dioxide injection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower leaves drop if the stems are left to shade each other.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful in a new tank for competing with algae while things settle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt suits community and nursery tanks, and the fine foliage gives fry and shrimplets somewhere to hide. Large cichlids and goldfish will make short work of it.
