Scrophulariaceae Limnophila SP (Limnophila SP Vietnam): The genus Lminophila Vietnam' is a relatively new stem plant. It creeps along the substrate and becomes a bush that is short and compact.

It can be used as a plant in the foreground or midground. This plant's characteristics also make it a good plant to switch between ground cover and tall stem plants. It has an attractive star shape when viewed from above.

For aquascaping, this delicate plant is a fantastic discovery. It produces creeping, well-ramifying shoots of 3 to 4 centimeters in width when subjected to intense light, making it an excellent ground cover.

Similar to the much slower-growing Staurogyne repens, dense populations eventually increase in size. With the L. sp. Vietnam" can be used to grow dense bushes that can be kept in shape by being cut back frequently.

This plant is ideal for "mountain" layouts, such as creeping down a hill or as a light green accent between driftwood and rocks.

The very narrow, pointed leaves that grow in whorls and the star-shaped shoot tips enhance its decorative appearance. The central veins of the stems and leaves can take on a reddish hue in bright light.
