  • Unique marbled leaves like little watermelons
  • Tall stem plant that forms bushy clusters
  • Easy to grow even for beginners

Lindernia rotundifolia 'Watermelon' is a top seller at the Aquarium Co-Op fish store because of its extraordinary appearance and easy care. This marbled variety has rounded, green leaves with variegated striping that resemble little watermelons.  Unlike most stem plants that look "leggy" at the bottom, the lower leaves of this species are quite hardy and less prone to melting.

Pruning the stems encourages the plant to grow side shoots that create a bushier appearance. (Also, if you notice any shoots producing only green leaves, cut them off to maintain the marbled pattern.) The trimmings can be replanted into the ground to propagate and spread the plant to multiple tanks.

Watermelon whimsy!!!

This plant came so healthy and happy!!!! I’m floating some and planted some and I’m loving it both ways. The leaves are so striking. I highly recommend this plant. What’s life without whimsy?!? 🍉

Did not travel well for me.

Mine arrived on their last legs. I planted them and a few weeks later about half are looking like they will make it. Unfortunately the rest of my stems have melted completely, or the base of the stems are brown and rotting but the plant has developed a couple of new leaves at the top. The plant leaves are a pale green rather than the bright green pictured. My hope is that they will recover with more time, ferts, and good light.

Not in good health

I ordered 2 of these, 1 came in healthy and strong, the second arrived barely alive. The roots and plant itself were barely existent and when removing it from the wool, it basically fell apart. Not indicative of many plants Ive bought through Aquarium coop but this one was clearly dying well before it got to me which is why I gave 3/5
