Limnophila sp. 'Vietnam Mini' is a beautiful, fine-leaved aquatic stem plant known for its compact form and lush green color. Unlike its larger relatives, this miniature version stays short and dense, making it perfect for foreground or midground placement in nano and mid-sized aquariums.
Its soft, feather-like leaves grow closely packed along the stems, creating a bushy appearance when trimmed regularly. It’s easy to maintain with moderate lighting and thrives even better with CO₂ and a nutrient-rich environment.
Whether you're building a nature-style scape or looking to soften hardscape lines, Limnophila 'Vietnam Mini' offers a fresh, vibrant texture that contrasts well with broader-leaved plants.
