Nymphoides indica
Entity overview
The entity profile pairs floating growth behavior with midground/background placement tags.
The taxonomy section places the plant within genus Nymphoides, family Menyanthaceae, order Asterales, and major group Angiosperms.
For broader context and filtering, open the Aquarium Plant Library.
Growth and use data
Propagation context is limited to proliferating inflorescences.
Care data interpretation
Aquarium care fields show easy difficulty, medium light demand, and recommended CO2.
Emersed growth is included as a possible growth mode.
Aquarium tool: Calculate suitable lighting.
Water parameter context
Water-parameter data gives temperature 24–31 °C, pH 5–8, KH 1–20 °dKH, and CO2 0–40 mg/L.
Use with this data: Estimate CO2 balance.
Nutrient range context
The profile gives nutrient targets for nitrate 10–50 mg/L, phosphate 0.1–3 mg/L, potassium 5–30 mg/L, and iron 0.01–0.5 mg/L.
Useful next step: Calculate nutrient dosing.
