Lobelia cardinalis ‘Mini’ (Lobelia cardinalis ‘Mini’) – Tissue Culture

Introduction

The Lobelia cardinalis ‘Mini’ is a compact and vibrant foreground to midground plant that brings a unique pop of color to freshwater aquariums. Unlike its larger counterpart, this miniature variety stays smaller and forms dense, low-growing clusters of bright green leaves with a hint of purple on the underside. Its a favorite among aquascapers for its structured growth and ability to create a lush carpet-like effect in planted tanks.

Grown in sterile tissue culture, this plant is 100% pest-free, algae-free, and disease-free, ensuring a healthy start in your aquarium.

• Unique Leaf Coloration: Bright green leaves with a subtle purple tint underneath add contrast to aquascapes.
• Easy to Grow: Adaptable to a range of water conditions and thrives with moderate lighting.
• Ideal for Aquascaping: Works well in Dutch-style aquascapes, natural layouts, and even as a transition plant between the foreground and background.
