It stands out for its many underwater leaves and its intense, light green, almost transparent colouring, which glows beautifully under aquarium lighting. Each rosette reaches 6–10 inches (15–25 cm) tall and 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) wide, so a single plant makes a clear statement as a midground or background feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEasy to care for under varying conditions, it is a fast grower that rewards a little attention with lush, bright foliage. As a bulb-type plant, it keeps new growth coming steadily, so it fills in quickly in a well-fed tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare at a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScientific name: Nymphoides hydrophylla ‘Taiwan’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Southern Taiwan (species found across Asia and Africa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Bulb rosette plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrowth rate: Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 6–12 inches (15–30+ cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) per rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight demand: Low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCO2: Medium, and recommended for best growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNutrients: Hungry plant that benefits from a nutrient-rich substrate and regular fertilisation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest placement: Midground to background\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding and Growth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis plant grows quickly, and for the best growth it needs plenty of nourishment. A nutrient-rich substrate, root tabs, and regular liquid fertiliser all help keep the leaves lush and the colour bright. In a well-fed tank with CO2, it grows rapidly and produces new plants readily. New plants develop from the plates of the old leaves, so a healthy rosette will gradually multiply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThinning and Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBecause it grows so quickly, regular thinning is necessary. Remove the oldest leaves and any leaves that reach the surface to keep the plant tidy and stop it from shading the rest of the tank. This also encourages fresh, healthy growth from the centre of the rosette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible With\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll community fish, shrimp, and snails\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks well in planted community tanks, nature-style aquascapes, and Dutch-style layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIts light green, translucent foliage contrasts well with darker plants and red stem plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tropica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49445730353374,"sku":null,"price":17.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/2-39.png?v=1794688827","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/nymphoides-hydrophylla-taiwan-tropica","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
