Limnophila sessiliflora is a good and undemanding plant which is a
good alternative to Cabomba, which demands a lot of light. The plant
often grows leggy in poor light, but this can be counteracted to some extent by
stimulating growth by CO2 addition. Most beautiful when planted in
groups. In good growing conditions it sends out runners and spreads across the
bottom. L. sessiliflora used to be called ''Ambulia''.
