Cardinal Plant

Cardinal Plant (Lobelia cardinalis) is a striking stem plant with broad, oval leaves that range from bright green to reddish-purple, especially under strong light. Its bold color and structure make it a great choice for midground planting in aquascaped tanks.

• Light Level: Medium to High (Fluval 3.0 recommended for compact growth and deeper color)
• Placement: Rooted in substrate
• Fertilization: Benefits from root tabs and regular liquid dosing with Easy Green or Seachem Flourish
• CO₂: Not required, but enhances coloration and bushier growth
• Notes: Can be trimmed and replanted to maintain shape; grows taller in low light and more compact in high light
