Roundleaf Lindernia
Lindernia rotundifolia
Plantae›Tracheophyta›Magnoliopsida›Linderniaceae
📍 South and Southeast Asia
Compact stem plant with small, rounded bright-green leaves. Forms a bushy, dense growth habit that holds shape well without constant trimming. Excellent for filling midground gaps in planted aquascapes.
Tank Mates
Shrimp will not damage plant tissue and benefit from the plant's cover and biofilm
Larger shrimp species that coexist peacefully and help control algae on plant surfaces
Small, gentle fish that appreciate plant cover without uprooting or damaging stems
Peaceful schooling fish that thrive among planted midground areas

Common Diseases
Nutrient Deficiency
Yellowing leaves, stunted growth, pale coloration, leaf holes
Increase fertilizer dosing frequency; ensure all-in-one fertilizer contains iron, potassium, and trace elements. Test water parameters and adjust accordingly
Algae Overgrowth
Green or brown algae coating plant surfaces, reduced light penetration
Reduce lighting duration to 8-10 hours daily; increase water changes; add algae-eating shrimp or fish; manually remove affected leaves
Melting
Rapid leaf deterioration, transparent or dissolving stems, mushy texture
Improve water quality with frequent partial water changes; ensure adequate CO2 and lighting; trim affected stems and replant healthy portions
Root Rot
Blackened or mushy roots, foul odor, plant collapse despite adequate nutrients
Improve substrate drainage and water circulation; reduce organic waste buildup; replant healthy stem cuttings in fresh substrate
