Plants

Bucephalandra 'Wavy Green' is an easy, slow-growing plant that prefers lower light levels. A nice, dense appearance is ensured by the willingness to branch, even without trimming. The green leaves are 2 cm wide and 5 cm long with wavy edges. Tiny white spots will appear on immerse leaves. The creeping stem, rhizome, must not be covered when planting. This will cause the plant to rot and die.

Strange, easily recognisable plant. Relatively maintenance-free. "Banana-shaped" roots should not be buried under the substrate.

Dwarf Anubias is an excellent foreground plant. As with all members of this family, the horizontal rhizome should be exposed and never planted into the substrate layer. Grows best when attached to driftwood. Easy, low maintenance plant. Good for beginners, rarely eaten by fish.

Anubias congensis or Anubias afzelii is an excellent beginner plant. As with all members of this family, the horizontal rhizome should be exposed and never planted into the substrate layer. Grows best when attached to driftwood. Easy, low maintenance plant. Good for beginners, rarely eaten by fish.

Une grande Anubias qui peut atteindre pratiquement la trentaine de centimètres, elle en possède autrement toutes les mêmes caractéristiques que les autres membres de sa famille. Ses feuilles particulièrement robustes ne peuvent pas être mangées par les poissons, même par les célèbres poissons rouge pourtant bien voraces.

Large centerpiece plant that should be given lots of space. Root tabs and liquid Iron supplements are a must to keep this plant healthy. Old or damaged leaves should be removed promptly, causing the plant to sprout new leaves from the center of the crown.

This miniature version of the well-known Alternanthera is characterized by compact growth and a slower growth rate. It is particularly suitable for small aquariums or as a foreground plant in larger aquascapes. By careful trimming can you create a dense, red-violet carpet approximately 5 to 10 cm high. High light intensity and addition of CO2 improves the plants growth and overall appearance.

Comme pour toutes les plantes rouges, la coloration est plus intense lorsque l'éclairage l'est aussi. En pinçant la pousse terminale, on coupe le bout pour la transplanter et permettre à la plante-mère d'élargir en se ramifiant.
