Description
Overview: This variegated form of Lindernia rotundifolia features small, round leaves with a beautiful pattern of light green and creamy white veins. It is a very easy plant to grow and adds a unique "marbled" look to the aquarium. It tends to grow vertically and will branch out if the top is trimmed. It is a great choice for adding subtle detail to the midground of a nature aquarium.
