Limnobium (frogbit): substrate and planted tank guide
Limnobium (frogbit) is in Living Soil's Aquarium and fully submerged plants group. Plants growing entirely underwater in a tank: a thin layer of soil under a gravel cap, which is a different job from a pond basket. Its guide gathers what published references say about water hardness, temperature, light, carbon dioxide, planting bed, feeding and spotting problems.

Good to know
- pH: the references give 6.6 to 6.6 for aquarium and fully submerged plants in general.
- The mistake to avoid: Pushing houseplant fertilizer sticks or water lily tablets into the soil under submerged plants. Bacteria turn their sulfate into hydrogen sulfide, which can kill plant roots.
