Tropica Littorella uniflora 1-2-Grow
The appearance of Littorella uniflora makes it an easily recognizable plant in the aquarium.
It grows wild on lakeshores of Europe, North America and South America. Tolerates quite low light intensity, but this will add to the length of leaves.
Each rosette is planted separately with a few centimeters of distance. They will readily send out runners. Over time, a distinctive carpet of thick, fleshy leaves – each 2-5 cm long and 0.1-0.3 cm wide – will form. Handle with care during maintenance, as the leaves are easily damaged.
Littorella uniflora is suitable for terrariums and garden ponds as well.

The plant forms a nice carpet quickly and stays healthy even in low light. I planted two rosettes and they started spreading within a few weeks. The leaves are a bit delicate, so I handle them gently when cleaning.
Lucas Ince –
It looks natural in my aquarium and blends well with other plants. Growth is steady and the leaves stay firm. I keep the light low, which suits the plant well.
Wendy Wilson –
Great for creating a soft green background. The plant spreads nicely and doesn’t compete with other species. Just be careful not to touch the leaves during water changes.
