Salvinia auriculataSalvinia Auriculata (Brazilian salvinia) is a floating plant native to South America. It grows moderately quickly so that its population can be controlled. Easy to grow. Absorbs nitrogen to combat algae. Propagates by spreading.Difficulty of cultivation: easy to mediumLight requirement: medium to highCO₂ requirement: lowHeight of the adult plant: 0.5 cmGrowth: moderate to fastTemperature: 22 - 24°CPlacement in the aquarium: SurfaceOrigin: South and Central AmericaCup diameter 6 cmSalvinia Auriculata (Brazilian Salvinia) is a floating ornamental plant. It is native to the calm, still waters of South and Central America. It can be found from Paraguay to Cuba. It owes its popularity above all to its original appearance. Its small oval leaves with a diameter of 10 mm cm are arranged opposite each other on an elongated leaf stalk. These leaves are covered with fine hairs that trap air bubbles, allowing them to float. Depending on the light intensity, they are wavy or flat. Salvinia forms a third type of underwater leaves on which the spores are deposited.Like all floating plants, Salvinia is recommended for shady waters . Its great appetite for nitrogen and phosphorus compounds makes this plant a good ally in the fight against algae. Salvinia has low light and nutrient requirements. It grows well in both moderate and strong light. As a floating plant, it does not require a substrate but draws all the necessary nutrients directly from the water. During the vegetation period, it reproduces by spreading, whereby the growth rate is moderate. This makes it easy to control its growth and remove excess plants. It grows to a length of 3-6 cm and likes warm, humid air, so it is advisable to use a glass or cover when growing it.It should be placed in such a way that no condensation falls on the plants. It adapts very quickly to the new parameters. However, it should be borne in mind that it will die if there is too little light. It thrives best in soft to medium-hard water at 22-24°C. The in vitro culture of plants is carried out in tissue culture laboratories. Thanks to the sterile production conditions, the cuttings are free from snails, algae or pathogens.Planting:The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed of 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. Place the plant on the surface of the water.

Carex panacea – sedge for pond edges & shallow waterCarex panacea is a hardy sedge for damp banks and the shallow water edge zone of garden ponds. With a height of 60–80 cm, it brings a calm, natural structure to the planting scheme. The flowering period is from June to July (VI–VII), it is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm and is hardy in zone 1–2.Flowering period: VI–VII (June to July)Height: approx. 60–80 cmPlanting depth: 0 to –15 cmPot size: approx. 9cmProduct specifications:They provide a stable, natural-looking structure at the pond edge and visually "frame" the shoreline neatly.Thanks to a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, the sedge can be flexibly positioned on the damp edge or in very shallow water.With zone 1–2, Carex panacea is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond planting.Technical data:Botanical name: Carex panaceaCommon name: sedge Height (cm): 60 / 80 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: VI–VIIWinter hardiness zone: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Carex panacea, you choose a reliable structural grass for the garden pond, which permanently organises the bank zone and visually embeds the pond. Especially at pond edges, it is helpful to use plants that not only flower in specific spots, but also create a calm, natural line with their growth habit. Sedges are particularly well suited for this: they look neat, can be combined in various ways and add stability to the edge planting.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Carex panacea fits ideally into the middle to background of the pondside planting. It can serve as a green frame that structures the pond edge, while lower groundcovers and flowering shallow water plants in the foreground soften the transition to the water. The flowering period from June to July (VI–VII) falls in the early summer phase and complements the season, even if with sedges the focus is usually on foliage and structure.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the plant flexible in use: directly in damp bank soil or in very shallow water. Depending on the pond layout, you can decide whether the sedge should act more as a marginal plant or as a shallow water element.The 9-cm pot is particularly suitable if you want to plant several plants to quickly achieve an even, natural bank line. For a neat pond edge and better control, a planting basket can be useful – this keeps the plant stable and makes it easier to move if necessary. Thanks to zone 1–2, Carex panacea is winter hardy and therefore well suited for perennial pond schemes. A good choice if you are looking for a calm, low-maintenance structural plant for the garden pond, one that blends harmoniously into natural-looking bank designs.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged at your address. Despite utmost care, it is possible for plants to be slightly damaged during postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves just as much as bent branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip: Plant sedges at the pond edge in small groups, slightly staggered, rather than in a straight line – this makes the shoreline appear more natural. If you want to keep the edge very neat, place Carex panacea in a planting basket at a depth of 0 to –15 cm and combine a low ground cover at the front for a soft finish.

With age the marbling disappears and the colours become more intense.Size: max. 9 cmTemperature: 21 - 26 °CLife expectancy: max. 3 monthsFood: primeval crayfish foodTriops longicaudatus (red)is an American crayfish. This species is probably a breeding form of the "normal" Triops longicaudatus. In contrast to these, however, the body shell of Triops longicaudatus (red) is transparent, which is why the animals appear wonderfully red in colour due to the translucent red blood.Quantity: basically about 100 to 250 eggsSize: max. 9 cmTemperature: 21 - 26 °CLife expectancy: max. 3 monthsTriops cancriformis var. Beni Kabuto Ebi (red)The red cultivated form of the European summer crab Triops cancriformis probably comes from Asia and has therefore been given the name "Beni Kabuto Ebi". Keeping and breeding corresponds to the original species.The original form is brown marbled. The red Triops lack the brown colour, which is why they appear red due to their body fluid. However, if you look closely, you can still see the marbling. As juveniles, like all Triops species, they are still quite pale. The strong pinkish-red colour develops only with age.Size: max. 7 cmTemperature: 20 - 25 °CLife expectancy: max. 3 months
