Tropica 1-2 Grow Lysimachia parvifolia ‘Red’

Lysimachia parvifolia ‘Red’ also known as Samolus parviflorus ‘Red’ can work even low-tech aquariums, showing a natural reddish tint. When provided with stronger lighting and consistent nutrient dosing, its colour deepens significantly, producing rich red tones that make it a striking feature in the midground or background of planted layouts.

The plant grows upright with a neat, compact structure, especially when trimmed regularly. Cuttings can be replanted easily, allowing dense groups to be established over time. For optimal colour and healthy growth, stable water parameters and a well-balanced nutrient regime are essential.

Interesting fact about this plant 

Beyond aquascaping, Lysimachia parvifolia has a history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine, where it has been valued for its anti-inflammatory properties.
