Description
The "Golden Creeping Jenny" is a cultivar of Lysimachia nummularia with bright yellowish coloration. It has the same demands as normal green Lysimachia nummularia and is particularly suited for cold water tanks. Good lighting is recommended for best coloration of the plant.
Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' is a beautiful gold-coloured cultivar of Lysimachia nummularia. It is also known as golden creeping Jenny or moneywort. It is not only used in the aquarium hobby, but its emersed form is also a very popular garden plant. L. nummularia 'Aurea' is a relatively fast grower and at the same time it is quite undemanding. It does well in soft to hard water, pH values of 6 to 8 and temperatures of 15 to 26℃ are not a problem. Even though it does well under low lights and without CO2 injection, it prefers stronger light and CO2 supplementation. An ample supply of nitrate and micronutrients is also recommendable. Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' and Lysimachia nummularia are great indicator plants, as they need sufficient NO3 (>5 mg/L) to form robust healthy leaves of an intensive colour. Deficiencies cause the plant to stagnate. Lysimachia nummularia 'Aurea' has a rather vertical growth habit and does not grow too bushy to the sides, and accordingly it doesn't grow too many lateral shoots.
