Lobelia Cardinalis Mini

Lobelia Cardinalis 'Mini' is a compact variety of the popular Lobelia Cardinalis, prized for its small, round leaves and tidy growth habit. Unlike the larger form, this cultivar stays low and bushy, making it ideal for the foreground or midground of aquascapes where a touch of lush green structure is desired.

Its slow to moderate growth rate and neat appearance make it perfect for detail-focused layouts, especially in Dutch or nature-style tanks.

Key Features:

- Compact, low-growing form with small rounded leaves
- Ideal for foreground and midground placement
- Adds soft green structure and contrast
- Great for nano tanks and precise layouts
- Low-maintenance and visually tidy

Care Instructions:

- Lighting: Moderate to high light keeps growth compact and vibrant.
- CO₂: Optional but highly recommended for best colour and growth form.
- Trimming: Trim tops to maintain shape or encourage bushier spread. Replant cuttings as needed.
- Water Parameters: Thrives in 20–28°C, pH 6.0–7.5. Adaptable to various water hardness levels.
- Nutrients: Prefers nutrient-rich substrates; benefits from water column dosing, especially iron.

- Emersed form adapts well when submerged and will regrow submerged foliage over time.
