Limnophila sp。Belem （Aromatica red）

Limnophila sp. Belem (Aromatica Red) is a rare and stunning stem plant prized for its vivid crimson-to-burgundy foliage and delicate, finely pinnate leaves. Originating from the Belem region of Brazil, this variant of the Aromatica family delivers exceptional colour intensity under high light, making it a showstopping centrepiece or background accent in planted aquascapes.

When conditions are optimal, the leaves develop a rich red hue with subtle orange highlights, creating a dramatic contrast against green foreground plants. Its aromatic fragrance when handled above water is a hallmark of the Limnophila genus.
