Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Red Round’ – Rare, Broad-Leaf Aquatic Plant for Freshwater Aquariums

Lagenandra meeboldii ‘Red Round’ is a rare and highly ornamental aquatic plant from India, admired for its striking, rounded leaves with deep red to bronze tones. Each broad leaf displays a rich, velvety texture, adding bold color and elegance to aquascapes. Unlike stem plants, this slow-growing species develops from a rhizome, producing robust foliage that makes it a perfect feature plant in both aquariums and paludariums.

This plant thrives in low to medium light and does not require CO₂ supplementation, though both lighting and nutrients can enhance its rich coloration. Due to its slower growth, it is best placed in the midground as a specimen or accent plant, where its rounded leaves and unique hues stand out beautifully against greener background plants. Its hardy nature and adaptability make it suitable for a wide range of aquarium conditions.
