Staurogyne RepensStaurogyne Repens is a light green plant that is straightforward to grow. Suitable for the foreground or background, it can be grown into a lawn shape in larger tanks to create a wonderful base in the aquarium.Growth: easyLight requirements: mediumCO₂ requirements: lowAdult plant height: up to 10 cmGrowth: ModerateTemperature: 20-28°CPlacement in aquarium: Foreground or backgroundOrigin: South AmericaShell diameter 6 cm The Staurogyne Repens requires a Medium light and CO₂ requirements. Cut shoots can be planted in the Substrate to be planted and continue to multiply. The Staurogyne Repens has an interesting leaf structure and color. It is characterized by moderate growth and adult specimens reach a height of up to 10 cm. It is popular for arrangements in planted aquariums. It has a well-developed root system. It originates from South America, more precisely from the southern Amazon. In the wild it was discovered in the Rio Cristalino river. The plant is characterized by low light requirements. In good light, it does not grow too tall and forms a dense lawn. Less light is not a problem for it, but then it grows more slowly. The dosage of carbon dioxide and feeding with micro and macronutrient fertilizers ensure intensive growth. Staurogyne Repens absorbs nutrients mainly through its root system and therefore prefers a fertile substrate. Advanced aquarists, however, can keep this species attached to ornaments or decorations. It is enough to use a suitable adhesive. In this case, care must be taken to provide fertilizers to the water column. The best growth results are obtained when the plant is planted in an active substrate. Under good conditions, the plant grows very quickly. It does not require complicated care. All you need to pay attention to is regular pruning using sharp scissors with curved blades. Frequent pruning will help Staurogyne Repens become denser and grow. After pruning, it spreads and forms new stems with leaves. Therefore, it can also be used to create an interesting foreground. Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at intervals between 3 - 4 cm..

Cacao leaves for natural water treatmentThis natural water conditioner has an extremely high antioxidant content and also provides humic substances.Cacao leaves - natural water conditioner from pesticide-free cultivation. They provide natural substances to keep your aquarium free of bacteria and fungi. Theobroma - Cacao is the tropical plant with the highest antioxidant content, and these tropical leaves also provide humic substances. Scientists refer to rainforests as a bacterial desert, whereby the humic substances alone, as geochemicals, acidify the forest soil and water to such an extent that pH values of up to 3.5 are achieved and bacteria experience a reduction close to zero. It has already been proven that humic substances are extremely beneficial for all aquatic life forms in fresh water.From private smallholders, the leaves are not picked but fall off naturally and are then collected.

It consists of regular pruning with sharp scissors with curved blades.The cut longest branches can be planted in the ground as stems. Such a seedling will form roots and continue to grow.It also grows without additional carbon dioxide supply or macro- and micronutrient fertilizers. However, it should be remembered that it is a slow to moderate growth. To ensure optimal growth, the plant should receive good light conditions and additional CO₂.Fertile substrate and liquid fertilizer have a positive effect on the condition of the plant.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed from the gel under running water. This is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself. Divide the contents of the cup into 1-2 cm lumps and then place them at a small distance in the substrate or on the selected objects.
