Green Cabomba

Cabomba caroliniana is one of the most popular types of Cabomba available in the aquarium trade.   It is an easy stem plant, suitable for beginners compared to some other harder to keep Cabomba types.  It works great as a background or midground coverage when planted in dense clusters and can grow into a thick bush of delicate green leaves. 

This plant can be great for beginners because it is hardy and does not require CO2 injection. It does prefer a nutrient-rich environment and clean water. Cabomba can thrive in any light levels. It is propagated through cuttings that easily take root in the substrate. Cabomba can also alternatively used as a floating plant.

Care: Easy

Light: Low to High
