Cabomba caroliniana is one of the oldest and
most popular aquarium plants. The plant has the most beautiful and finely
dissected submerged leaves of a very attractive light-green colour.
Occasionally, floating leaves are produced, too, when the shoot reaches the
water surface or in association with flowering. Apart from the very high
light demands of Cabomba caroliniana, the plant does not require any
special attention in the aquarium to thrive. If you have problems to saturate
the light requirements you may try one of the similar looking Limnophila
species which do not require the same amount of light to grow satisfactory.
This plant must be planted in groups to attain its optimum decorative effect
and it is easily reproduced by apical cuttings which are replanted in the
substrate.
