Cardamine lyrata - Family ... Brassicaceae

Continue Shopping

Cardamine lyrata is a light green and often quite bushy plant, which occasionally appears in the shops. The leaves are flattened and alternate and - at least in cool water - the internodes are short. On heavily ramifying shoot the plant appears very dense and decorative. The plant is easily recognised by the roots that develop from every node. Cardamine lyrata is amphibious and inhabits the banks of lake and streams in the Eastern Siberia, China and Japan and it prefers cool water. It is therefore especially suitable for garden ponds but it thrives in aquaria up to about 25ºC although the internodes become longer and the blades smaller, and the plant appears less dense. The plant has no particular requirements apart from a nutrient rich substrate which should be offered to all fast growing plants. Also, the growth is faster if the water is CO2 enriched. Cardamine lyrata may be reproduced from seeds as well as cuttings.

These plant are recognised as some of the most beautiful and robust aquarium plant on the market. Over 150 different varieties are normally available for freshly harvested delivery.
