Lindernia rotundifolia 'Variegated' - APE - Aquatic Plant Enthusiasts

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.

Nice! Kinda has the pattern of a melon

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

I also have this plant growing. Its nice and the leaf patterns are cool. It will soon be a fast grower!

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

Can't wait to see how this grows out for you.

Haha! They do look like tiny melons!

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