Description

The moneywort or "Creeping Jenny" is native to Europe and has a long tradition in the aquarium hobby. This winter-hardy plant grows creeping in its terrestrial form, but under water it develops upright stems with fresh green, round leaves. Lysimachia nummularia is especially suited for cold water aquariums, but it grows also in moderately tempered tanks if they are well lit.

Lysimachia nummularia, moneywort or creeping Jenny, is native to Europe but has been introduced into North America. There is hardly any area in Germany where it isn't found. This creeping plant grows on moist meadows, on riverbanks, lakeshores and pond edges, as well as in alluvial forests and forest mires. It is often used as ornamental plant in gardens and is very well-suited for planting the edges of a garden pond and also as ground cover on normal, not really moist ground and even as a hanging plant. In early summer it has many golden yellow flowers.
L. nummularia can also be cultivated submersed and has been used as aquarium plant since the very early days of aquaristics.

Why not try creeping Jenny for once

I was looking for a dark green stem plant that grows rather upright. In the 3 pots I ordered there were about nine individual stems each. (read more)

Warum nicht mal Pfennigkraut

Ich war auf der Suche nach einer dunkelgrünen Stängelpflanze die eher aufrecht wächst. In den bestellten 3 Töpfen waren ca. jeweils neun einzelne Stängel drin. Einige waren um die 25 cm lang, andere vielleicht so 10 cm. Die Lieferung war schnell. Der Zustand jedes einzelnen Stängels tadellos. In einer Gruppe gesetzt, kommt die Menge bei mir gut zur Geltung. Mein Becken ist u. a. mit unterschiedlichen Kardinalfischen besetzt bei einer Temperatur von 23 Grad. Bei gartenjournal las ich, dass Garnelen wohl an die Pflanze gehen würden. Meine Amanos interessieren sich jedoch überhaupt nicht für die Pflanze. Dies trifft auch für die Rennschnecken zu. Die Pflanzen scheinen ein wenig zu glänzen. Sie bilden zudem Luftwurzeln aus. Die Blätter sind so rund pfennigartig, wie auf der Abbildung.

Aufgrund einer anderen Bewertung zu dieser Pflanze bzgl. der Wuchsgeschwindigkeit konnte ich im Vorfeld recherchieren, dass das Pfennigkraut eine Indikatorpflanze für Nitrat ist. Ohne normalen Nitratlevel geht hier, wie auch bei vielen anderen Pflanzen, wohl nichts.

Ich würde die Pflanze für mäßig warme Becken bis 25 Grad empfehlen für Leute, die auch mal neben den derzeit bekannteren Vertretern, aufrechten Wuchs wünschen im Aquarium. Die Pflanze wird m. E. eher wenig für das Aquascaping benutzt.

May well be a good plant.

The plant itself is probably good and the quality on delivery was excellent too. It just doesn't grow for me the way I'd hoped.

Mag wohl ne gute Pflanze sein.

Die Pflanze an sich ist wohl gut und die Qualität war bei Lieferung auch top. Nur wächst sie bei mir leider nicht so wie erhofft.
