The Limnophila Aquatica, also known as the Giant Ambulia, is a bushy and bright green aquatic plant that adds stunning visual appeal to aquariums. Originating from Southeastern Asian countries like India and Sri Lanka, this plant exhibits extremely fast growth under the right conditions.

Here are the key care guidelines for Limnophila Aquatica:

1. Lighting Requirement:
   • Provide medium-bright light for approximately eight hours a day. Limnophila Aquatica thrives when exposed to daily light, as it hails from regions with ample sunlight.
2. Temperature:
   • Maintain water temperature between 75.2°F and 80.6°F (24°C to 27°C). The warm waters of its native habitat influence its preference for these temperature ranges.
3. pH Levels:
   • Aim for a pH range of 6.2 to 7.1. Slightly acidic to neutral conditions suit this plant well.
4. Growth Rate:
   • Expect moderate to high growth. Keep an eye on its rapid development and trim back excess growth as needed.
5. Propagation:
   • Propagate Limnophila Aquatica through cuttings. Trim healthy stems and replant them to create new plants.
6. CO2 Requirement:
   • While it can thrive without additional CO2 supplementation, providing low CO2 levels can enhance its growth.

Remember to plan your aquarium layout carefully, grouping plants and creatures with similar environmental needs.
