Default Lindernia rotundifolia 'Variegated'

I got a fun new plant in the mail yesterday, Lindernia rotundifolia 'Variegated'.



These leaves are tiny, only about .33 to .75 cm wide. I am gong to try it out with the hanging planter + trellis raft combination and see what it does. I'll pot it up, then stick it in my 65-gallon.

I got a few stems of this recently also. It reminds me of tiny watermelon leaves.

This is the configuration that I used for planting up the Lindernia, the Small Hanging Planter along with the Nano Trellis Raft.

The stems still good. When/if I start seeing some growth in the roots and foliage I'll post an update.
