Lagenandra meeboldii

A stunning and unique alternative to traditional Cryptocoryne, Lagenandra meeboldii is prized for its broad, textured leaves and deep earthy tones ranging from olive green to rich reddish hues.

This plant develops into a bold midground feature over time, making it perfect for creating contrast and structure within an aquascape. Slower growing and more uncommon than standard crypts, it’s ideal for hobbyists looking to add something a little different to their tank.
