Description
Lloydiella is a very hardy stem plant that has bright green leaves and is perfect for low-tech setups!
Creeping Jenny AKA Lloydiella (Lysimachia nummularia ) is a very hardy, attractive stem plant with bright green leaves. It can thrive in low-tech setups as long as it has moderate to (preferably) high lighting. As it matures, it can grow to an impressive height that is very suitable for the background of the aquarium. While Creeping Jenny naturally grows emersed, it is very adaptable to long-term submersed conditions. In addition to being an excellent aquarium plant, it is also ideal for paludariums and terrariums.
Lloydiella is an easy plant to maintain. It does not require CO2 supplementation, though it will certainly benefit from it. It will look its best under moderate to high lighting and will be sturdiest under high lighting. Due to the thin texture of its leaves, Lloydiella is not suitable for aquariums with destructive animals such as crayfish, large cichlids, or goldfish.
Like most plants, Lloydiella will benefit from supplementation such as Seachem Flourish, Flourish Excel, nitrogen, and other plant supplements. It actually requires a relatively high level of nutrients and will begin to yellow if it is undernourished. However, it is a rather resilient plant and its high nutrient consumption will contribute greatly to limiting algae growth.
