What Limnophila sessiliflora is
Limnophila sessiliflora is an aquatic plant from Southeast Asian wetlands. It has delicate, whorled leaves that look like thin, submerged stars. You will notice the stems can grow quite long, often forming a tangle of green near the surface.
Living with this plant means managing its tendency to float. It grows quickly when it has enough light. You keep it happy by simply taking a cutting from a healthy stem and placing it back into the water.
