Green Cabomba or Cabomba Caroliniana originates from Central and South America and  is a spectacular addition to the rear of an aquarium.  It is essential to maintain good water circulation to keep this plant in top condition. 

It can occasionally be prone to shedding leaves which can clog your filter so careful positioning is sometimes advisable.

It is easy to propagate by simply cutting a piece off once the plant has reached about 20 cm in height and planting it in the substrate.  It is a lovely plant but can be prone to loosing leaves which can sometimes clog your filter.  Too good to miss, give it a try.
