Lindernia rotundifolia ‘Variegated’

Description Lindernia rotundifolia ‘Variegated’ is a rare and eye-catching stem plant prized for its vibrant green leaves splashed with creamy white variegation. Unlike many variegated aquatic plants, it grows relatively quickly under the right conditions, creating a bright contrast against darker greens and reds in an aquascape or paludarium. It can be grown fully submerged, emersed, or in high-humidity terrariums, making it a versatile addition to planted displays. With regular trimming, it develops a dense, bushy appearance that works beautifully as a midground or background accent. The unique variegation ensures that no two stems look exactly alike. Care Instructions Difficulty: Easy to Moderate Lighting: Medium to High (higher light helps maintain the brightest variegation) CO₂: Recommended for fastest growth and best coloration but not required Temperature: 68–82°F (20–28°C) pH: 6.0–7.8 Growth Rate: Moderate to Fast Placement: Midground to Background Propagation: Easily propagated by cutting healthy stems and replanting the tops. New roots will quickly develop from the stem nodes. Care Tips: Plant individual stems with a small amount of space between them to encourage fuller growth. Trim regularly to promote branching and create a dense, attractive bush. High light and consistent nutrients help preserve the strongest variegation. Because of its white variegated sections, growth may be slightly slower than the standard green form, but healthy plants will continue to produce beautiful new shoots. Suitable for aquariums, paludariums, and high-humidity terrariums. Lindernia rotundifolia ‘Variegated’ is an excellent choice for hobbyists looking to add a rare splash of bright color and texture to their planted aquarium or paludarium while remaining easy to grow and propagate.
