Cardinal Plant (Lobelia cardinalis) Bare root
AquariumPlants.comProvide Lobelia cardinalis "Dwarf" moderate to high lighting to prevent wilting and to promote compact, lush growth. CO2 injection is highly recommended for success, along with plenty of micronutrient dosing. This unique stem plant grows upward at a moderate pace, producing side shoots and numerous white roots at the nodes.
The Cardinal Plant's slow and dwarf growth makes it ideal for mid- ground placement to add density and interest to planted aquarium displays. Arrange and prune into neat rows for a classic Dutch "street" aquascaping effect.

Cardinal Plant
This was not a "bare root" as described. It was actually a large ready to plant specimen, even more dense than pictured. The color was ver bright red purple and I was actually able to break the stem into 3 individual plants as there were plenty of roots shooting out. All three quickly sprouted 6 to 8 new healthy stems. Excellent buy.
