About This Plant
Compact midground stem with bright green leaves
Lobelia cardinalis develops upright stems with rounded, bright green leaves and attractive reddish undersides under strong lighting. It works beautifully as a midground accent or trimmed foreground bush. Benefits from nutrient-rich substrate and CO2 supplementation — prune the top growth to encourage a bushier, more compact form.
Care Instructions
Compact growth habit with bright green leaves and reddish undersides. Benefits from nutrient-rich substrate. Prune top growth to encourage bushier form.
What's Included
Each plant ships in a sealed 120 mL sterile culture vessel (60 mm base). Laboratory-grown in vitro under controlled conditions — pest-free, algae-free, and ready to plant.
How to Prepare
Tissue culture plants arrive in a nutrient gel or liquid medium. Rinse this off completely before planting — leftover media can fuel algae growth in your tank.
- Remove the plant from the cup and gently pull apart into small portions.
- Rinse thoroughly under cool running tap water to wash away all gel or liquid media.
- For stubborn gel, soak the portions in a bowl of clean water for a few minutes, then rinse again.
- Plant the portions directly into your substrate — space them out to encourage even spread and growth.
