Limnophila sessiliflora is a pretty and undemanding plant from South-East Asia. A great alternative to Cabomba, which doesn’t requires a lot of light. Stems grow fast up to 40 cm tall and become 3-4 cm wide. The plant often grows leggy in poor light, but this can be counteracted to some extent by stimulating growth with CO2 addition. Most beautiful when planted in groups. In good growing conditions it sends out runners and spreads across the bottom.
Limnophila sessiliflora used to be called “Ambulia”.

Limnophila Sessiliflora, also known as Ambulia, is a bushy and bright green plant. Native to clear water environments in South East Asia, Ambulia looks similar to Cabomba but is easier to maintain. This plant requires frequent trimming to be capable of fast growth in the right conditions. Often seen in tank backgrounds, Ambulia has a bushy appearance and rapid growth rate. This species grows quickly, some hobbyists would say too quickly. In good growing environments, regular trimming is necessary.
