Lobelia cardinalis, commonly known as Cardinal Flower, is a popular aquatic plant capable of thriving both submersed and emersed. When grown submersed, it develops vibrant green leaves, often with a reddish underside, adding a distinct colour accent to the aquarium. It is suitable for midground planting.
This species benefits from moderate to high lighting and CO2 supplementation to achieve its best form and colouration. Regular trimming encourages bushier growth and helps maintain its desired height within the aquascape.
