Sometimes plants surprise by suddenly deviating from the way they normally grow. This is called a mutation, and Lobelia cardinalis ‘Mini’ is a good example of this. Lobelia cardinalis ‘Mini’ has thus originated from the general production of Lobelia cardinalis. It is characterized by its beautiful light green leaves which are closer together than on the original Lobelia, and then it is also significantly smaller, hence the addition ‘Mini’ to the name of the plant.

The growth is low and dense, as the plant branches willingly, even without trimming. In addition, the mini version rarely forms the long vertical shoots which otherwise characterize Lobelia cardinalis.

It is easily propagated by planting the cut shoots down into the bottom layer. Lobelia cardinalis ‘Mini’ becomes most compact in good light conditions and added CO2, but also thrives well without.

Madison G. ★★★★★

Got this as a mini plant and it's already throwing out those tight, compact side shoots just like the description said. Comes in the 1-2-GROW cup so no transplant shock, and it's been holding its deep green color under medium light without any melting.

Brian ★★★★★

The mutation really shows in how compact and tidy each little stem stays, even in a low-tech tank where I expected more leggy growth. The 1-2-GROW cup arrived with roots already gripping the wool, so planting took me under five minutes total.

David W. ★★★★★

I was a bit skeptical about the mini mutation claim, but the plantlets are so much more compact and dense than standard Lobelia. The 1-2-GROW format gave me a strong, rooted start that took off immediately in my tank.
