Cardamine lyrata, also known as Japanese cress, is a popular aquatic plant species native to Japan and Korea. It is a relatively easy-to-care-for plant and is a great choice for aquarists looking to add some greenery to their aquarium.
Cardamine lyrata has fresh green, oval-shaped leaves that grow in a rosette pattern. The leaves can grow up to 8cm in diameter and can be slightly ruffled along the edges. The plant can reach up to 30cm in height and prefers moderate to high lighting conditions.
In the aquarium, Cardamine lyrata is a versatile plant that can be planted in the substrate or attached to decorations using fishing line or aquarium-safe glue. It can tolerate a wide range of water conditions, including soft to hard water with a pH range of 6.0 to 8.0.
To care for Cardamine lyrata, it is important to provide it with adequate lighting and regular fertilization. CO2 supplementation can also help the plant grow well, although it can still thrive without it. The plant may require occasional pruning to keep it in check and prevent it from overshadowing other plants in the aquarium.
Overall, Cardamine lyrata is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for plant that can add a touch of natural beauty to any aquascape.
