    Description

    Lysimachia nummularia aurea is the golden form of creeping Jenny, producing rounded, coin-shaped leaves in warm yellow-green to golden tones that provide a striking colour contrast in the midground of planted layouts. Its creeping, trailing growth habit fills gaps and spreads gently across the substrate, creating a softly textured golden accent among green and red neighbouring plants.

    It is an undemanding species growing well under medium light without CO2 injection. The golden colouration is most vivid under good light; in lower light conditions the leaves may become more green. Regular trimming of upward-growing stems keeps it in the creeping form typical of the species. Cuttings root readily for propagation.

    Supplied as an established potted plant, Lysimachia nummularia aurea suits aquariums from 40 litres upward. Its golden leaf colour, easy care, and creeping habit make it one of the more distinctive and versatile midground options for planted aquariums where a warm colour accent at low height is needed.

    This is not only one of my favorites, but also of the fishes, who love to sniff/peck at it, but it seems able to resist getting damaged. It's doing very well, putting on new growth, so my regime with the fertiliser and CO2 must be doing it good! Very pleased with it, as before!

    Always a beauty! These plants do well in my aquaria, and they look delightful. It's the pale green colour that's so arresting, and the delicate structure of the plant.

    These plants look good enough to eat, with their succulent looking leaves - not that the fishes eat them! Conditions in our aquaria must be right for them, because they thrive. I particularly love the light green colour, which stands out from the other plants. Definitely one to stay with for the future.

    Great plant. Arrived healthy, colour as pictured on my screen. Stunning bright green, beautiful round shaped small leaves from the base of the stock all the way up. Easy to divide and got several stocks from 1 pot, plenty for my 30 litre first aquarium. Planted the same day they arrived and after a week are already showing new growth. Would recommend this plant to all but especially those new to live aquarium plants.

    This plant looks lovely in the tank. We shall see whether or not the fishes eat it, which is part of the 'deal' of course! The plants are despatched wrapped up immaculately against all eventualities, including 'Arctic conditions' ! I wouldn't have believed that they would survive an unscheduled delivery delay of four days in extreme weather conditions, but they arrived in top condition, albeit rather cold! Well done to all concerned! This is the place to buy online aquatic plants!

    I love this plant . It has a light green colour that goes fine with darker coloured plants behind it . The plant came to me about 3" high. I was shocked how quickly i received the plants and i would highly recommend you buy your plants from Aqua Essential's . The service is excellent .

    Healthy plant received & it seems to be doing well. These are essentially a few separate plants so you're getting more than one which is great value. I purchased this Lysimachia along with some other plants & they all arrived in fantastic condition. Excellent service, great prices & superb products. Thank you.

    Product FAQs

    Helpful details before you buy.

    How golden does it actually look in the aquarium?

    Under good medium light it produces warm yellow-green to golden leaves that contrast attractively with green plants. In lower light the colouration shifts more toward green.

    Does it need CO2?

    No. It is an easy plant that grows well without CO2 under medium light, making it suitable for low-tech aquariums.

    How does it grow?

    It creeps and trails, spreading horizontally across the substrate. Some stems grow more upright and can be trimmed back to maintain the creeping form.

    Is it easy to care for?

    Yes. Like the green form, nummularia aurea is undemanding and tolerates a range of water conditions, making it suitable for beginners.

    How do I propagate it?

    Trim stem cuttings and replant them in the substrate. They root quickly and continue spreading in the same creeping growth pattern.
