Lagenandra meeboldii 'Red' Tropica

Placed this in my high-light tank and the broad leaves are a beautiful deep red, much more intense than I expected for a medium-sized plant. It took about a week to settle in, but now it's growing steadily with no melting issues.

The deep red veins on these leaves really popped once I moved them under stronger light, and the transition from my emersed setup to the tank took less than a week. It's a slow grower, but the broad-leaf structure gives my aquascape a solid mid-ground anchor that reminds me of a compact Cryptocoryne

The broad leaves settled in nicely after a few days, and under decent lighting the red tones actually deepen from the center outward. It’s a sturdy plant that holds its shape well, even in a tank with curious shrimp.
