Lemna spp.
Entity overview
The profile combines floating growth behavior with floating placement tags.
The classification fields place it in genus Lemna, family Araceae, order Alismatales, and major group Angiosperms.
For broader context and filtering, open the Aquarium Plant Library.
Growth and use data
The profile gives growth details for width up to 1 cm.
Propagation information includes fragmentation.
Care data interpretation
Aquarium care fields show very easy difficulty, low light demand, and recommended CO2.
The care profile includes possible emersed growth.
Use with this data: Calculate suitable lighting.
Water parameter context
For aquarium comparison, range values include temperature 4–30 °C, pH 5–9, KH 2–21 °dKH, and CO2 0–40 mg/L.
Useful next step: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
The nutrient fields provide nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
Planning tool: Calculate nutrient dosing.
