Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Bleeding Heart’ Tissue Culture is a rare and stunning freshwater aquarium plant with deep red to bronze heart-shaped leaves that bring bold color and contrast to planted tanks. Cultured in sterile laboratory conditions, this tissue culture version is 100% free from snails, algae, and pesticides, ensuring a healthy, contamination-free start for any aquascape.
Originating from India and Sri Lanka, Lagenandra meeboldii grows naturally along shaded riverbanks, marshes, and tropical streams. In aquariums, it develops a compact rosette form with broad leaves that show rich red tones under medium to high lighting. Its growth pattern and care are similar to Cryptocoryne, making it a reliable midground plant for both low-tech and high-tech setups.
Lighting: Medium to high light enhances its red and bronze coloration.
CO₂ & Fertilizer: CO₂ injection and root fertilization promote faster, more vibrant growth.
Substrate: Plant in fine-grain, nutrient-rich substrate; do not bury the crown.
Water Parameters: Temperature 72–82°F (22–28°C), pH 6.0–7.5.
Maintenance: Remove older leaves periodically; allow new growth to emerge from the crown.
Pest-free, snail-free, and algae-free for pristine aquarium setups.
Striking red and bronze tones add visual depth and contrast to planted aquascapes.
Hardy and slow-growing, suitable for beginners and experts alike.
Safe for shrimp and all freshwater fish species.
Ideal for midground placement or as a color accent in nature-style tanks.
