Samolus parviflorus ‘Red’

Since Samolus parviflorus ‘Red’ is a recent addition to the aquarium plant trade, it is a rare plant with lesser availability.

It is a beautiful rosette plant that looks most attractive when grown in the mid-ground of an aquarium. Under high light conditions, Samolus parviflorus ‘Red’ develops bright red colour. The reddish hint, along with the orange and green colour, comes under low light conditions.

The temperature should be maintained around 25 degrees C. It can grow well even in brackish water. The growth rate is slow, and the light demand is high. Even though it can survive without additional carbon dioxide, supplementing CO2 will intensify its growth.
