Description: Samolus Parviflorus Red Lysimachia parvifolia, also traded as Samolus parviflorus 'Red', is a unique and striking aquatic plant originating from South China, particularly the limestone-rich Guangxi province. Known for its vibrant red leaves and rosette-like structure, this plant has quickly gained attention among aquarists for its beauty and adaptability. Initially found growing submerged in river environments, it is a rarity in the hobby but has recently become more widely available through private collectors. Key Features: Stunning Red Foliage: Underwater, this plant forms a broad rosette with leaves ranging from red to dark red under bright light, providing a bold and beautiful accent in the aquarium. Highly Adaptable Growth Forms: It can grow submerged or emersed, with the emersed form looking entirely different, featuring narrow green to slightly reddish leaves and small white flowers. Ideal for Foreground to Midground Planting: Its compact rosette structure, about 10-20 cm wide, and striking red coloration make it perfect for creating dynamic visual accents in the foreground or midground of an aquascape. Optimal Conditions: Lighting: Thrives under bright lighting conditions (PAR radiation of at least 100 micromoles) to bring out the deepest red hues in the leaves. Moderate lighting results in orange tones and elongated growth. Water Parameters: While exact temperature needs are not well-documented, this subtropical species can likely tolerate a broad temperature range due to its native habitat's hot summers and mild winters. CO2 and Nutrients: CO2 supplementation is not essential but encourages lusher growth. A nutrient-rich substrate further enhances its health and appearance. Aquarium and Terrestrial Benefits: Visual Highlight: Adds a stunning red accent to aquariums, especially in high-light setups, offering a unique contrast against green plants. Versatile Use in Paludariums and Wabi-Kusa: When grown emersed, it produces long, hanging shoots and small, bell-shaped white flowers, adding a charming touch to paludarium or wabi-kusa displays. Easy Propagation: The rosette can be divided into individual shoots, and severed leaves can develop roots and adventitious shoots when floating in water, making propagation simple. Care and Maintenance: Moderately Easy to Grow: A robust plant suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists, requiring minimal maintenance while thriving in a range of conditions. Adaptable to Various Environments: Suitable for fully submerged aquariums, emersed setups, and transitional aquatic environments, making it an excellent choice for creative aquascaping. Conclusion: Lysimachia parvifolia (Samolus parviflorus 'Red') is a captivating and unique plant that is sure to make a statement in any aquarium or paludarium. Its bright red, rosette-like submerged form provides a vivid accent in the aquarium, while its emersed form offers a more subtle beauty with its delicate leaves and charming white flowers. Easy to care for and highly adaptable, Lysimachia parvifolia is a rare gem that will only become more popular as its beauty and versatility are discovered by more aquascaping enthusiasts.
