Ammania sp. "Bonsai" is a lush green, decorative stem plant for the second level of the aquarium. It is also called Rotala Bonsai. It is a distinctive miniature variety that cannot be confused with any other.

It is quite rare in aquariums. It is a cultivar or breeding variety, which means that it does not occur in nature.

Ammania sp. 'Bonsai' has straight, sparsely branched, thick stems and round leaves.It is generally a small plant, but it grows very nicely, sometimes even without pruning. The plant looks best when planted in a group. So place at least 5-7 cuttings next to each other to achieve the desired visual effect. It has an ideal size for shrimp tanks and nanoaquariums.

Ammania does not require special fertilization, but it is good to provide it with a rich substrate containing micro and macro elements. The plant has no great water requirements and grows in both soft and hard water with a pH of 6 to 7.5, but a fertile substrate, CO₂ fertilization and liquid fertilizers are recommended for full coloration. It requires regular administration of macro and micro nutrients, especially iron. It does not have high requirements for light, but in intense light the tips turn red.

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 on the selected items

It turns purple under intense light.Difficulty of cultivation: moderate Light requirement: medium CO₂ requirement: medium Adult plant height: up to 50 cm Growth: moderate Temperature: 22-28°C Placement in aquarium: second or third level Origin: Asia Cup diameter: 6 cm Limnophila Aromatica (fragrant Limnophila, rice paddy weed) is a plant that has earned a place in aquariums around the world due to its unique appearance and leaf color. It is native to Asia, where it usually grows in rice paddies or swamps near water. It does well after the end of the rainy season in a dry place in a still moist, sandy soil. At high temperatures, the plant flowers, forms fruit, and then dies. Traditionally used as a spice, especially in Vietnamese cuisine. Its flavor is reminiscent of cumin and lemon. Currently, the plant can also be found in America and Australia.Limnophilia Aromatica is a stalk plant that produces lance-shaped leaves with serrated edges. Their color depends on the intensity of light. If the plant has little access to light, its leaves are green. If the light is strong, the entire top of the plant is intense red and the leaves are purple on the underside. In aquariums, plant it in the second or third level, leaving a distance of 1.5 cm between cuttings. It grows quite fast, its optimal pH is 6-7. It tolerates temperatures between 15 and 30 °C, but it is better to avoid extreme temperatures and keep it between 22 and 28 °C. In aquariums it is propagated by cutting and planting young plants that form on the stems or from the tips. The plant does not require absolute CO₂ fertilization, but grows much faster with CO₂ addition. To achieve the desired intense red-purple color of the leaves, the plant must be strongly illuminated. In addition, attention must be paid to the correct water parameters in the aquarium, especially the optimal iron, nitrate and phosphate content, so that the plant can absorb the nutrients from the water column. Due to its strongly developed root system, the plant grows best in active media.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.

Rotala rotundifolia 'Green

Rotala Rotundifolia 'Green' Rotala Rotundifolia 'Green' (Round-leaved Rotala) is a mid-ground plant. It is characterized by fast growth and moderate light requirements. The color is usually light green.Difficulty of growing: easy Light requirements: medium CO₂ requirements: not necessary Height of mature plant: 50-60 cm Growth: fast Temperature: 20-28°C Placement in aquarium: third level Origin: South Asia, Southeast Asia Cup diameter 6 cm The natural range of the round-leaved Rotalas (Rotala rotundifolia) is South, Southeast and East Asia. It has been spread by humans to Australia, the United States and Brazil, among other places. She is thus already almost a globetrotter.Rotala rotundifolia 'Green' is very similar to Rotala rotundifolia, but its leaves remain bright green even in bright light. This plant is characterized by its fast growth and its tendency to spread profusely, especially when regularly pruned. It tolerates medium light levels, but the higher the light, the more intense the plant's growth and colors. If left to grow freely, it reaches a length of 30-60 cm, cutting off access to light to the lower parts, where it begins to lose its leaves. Under favorable conditions, if left uncontrolled, it can dominate an entire tank, especially if it is a tank with a small capacity. Once it reaches the surface of the water, it begins to float on it. It does not need additional carbon dioxide fertilization unless you want to accelerate its growth even more. It is tolerant of pH and water hardness, although like most plants, it cannot tolerate extremes. It tolerates temperatures between 20 and 28 °C, but thrives better in the upper end of this range. It can grow in both an active and a poor substrate, but in this case it is advisable to fertilize under the roots. In well-lit, CO2-fertilized aquariums, it may require additional fertilization with macronutrients due to its rapid growth. Otherwise, it will lose its color and the leaves will become smaller. Rotala rotundifolia is propagated in the aquarium by cutting off stem pieces and placing them in a selected spot in the substrate. When transplanted to a new tank, it will need some time to acclimate and grow faster.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 into the substrate.

In the aquarium, it can therefore be successfully planted near the filter outlet or the circulating pump.This variety of Bucephalandra is easy to grow and therefore recommended for beginners. It has a wide range of tolerable parameters. It grows in both soft and hard water, with a GH of 0 - 30. pH should be between 5 and 8. It can thrive in partial shade and even in shade, although it looks more colorful in intense lighting.The propagation is similar to that of Anubias. It forms derived rhizomes that emerge from the main part of the plant. To obtain new cuttings, simply cut off the side shoots. If it stays on the mother plant, it forms a nice, compact growth. In the background, attached to a root or rock, it cuts a fine figure. Its adhesive roots grow very strongly into the pores of rocks or roots. After some time, the grip is so strong that it is practically impossible to remove the plant without scissors or a knife. Bucephalandra can also be planted in loose and porous substrate, such as lava, but be sure to avoid covering the rhizome. Planted deep in the substrate, it loses its leaves and dies. In addition to aquariums, this species is also well suited for paludariums, but the humidity must always be kept high. Otherwise, the leaves of Bucephalandra will dry out and die.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 on the selected items.

Limnobium laevigatum In-Vitro

Limnobium laevigatum In-Vitro - a dainty floating plant Limnobium laevigatum is a dainty floating plant for open aquariums and for the garden pond or water trough. However, this South American plant is not hardy and therefore, needs to be overwintered in a warm place. In the right conditions, the plants spread quickly and, bit by bit, develop into a dense carpet of plants. Very long root beards can form in places, providing good protection for young fish in the aquarium

Difficulty of cultivation: moderately demandingLight requirements: medium to highCO₂ requirements: mediumHeight of mature plant: Up to 50 cmGrowth rate: fastTemperature: 20-28°CPlacement in aquarium: backgroundOrigin: TaiwanCup diameter: 6 cm The tall stems with the fine leaves Tolerate regular pruning well. At a distance of a few Centimeters planted in the ground, it spreads and forms a a striking green background for other plants and decorations. Rotala sp. 'Nanjenshan' (Mayaka rosa) is a tertiary stem plant. It is native to Taiwan, where it occurs near the town of Nanjenshan, from which it takes its name. It is probably a natural hybrid of the round-leaved Rotala (Rotala rotundifolia) and Rotala wallichii. Both the stem and the leaves are light green in color. The tips of the stems may change color depending on growing conditions. It is characterized by its delicate structure. The leaves are whorled on the stem in groups of 3-6, up to 2 cm long and only 0.1-0.2 cm wide. It is described as moderately demanding. It tolerates temperatures between 20-28°C and likes soft to hard water. Optimum pH is between 6.0-7.0.Rotala sp. Nanjenshan' is a fairly demanding plant in terms of light conditions. Its best growth is ensured by bright and long lighting, even 12-14 hours per day. A symptom of insufficient light is a thin stem and a lighter color of the leaves, especially in the lower part. In extreme cases, the lack of light leads to the death of the plant. Therefore, it should not be planted too densely. It can grow in a variety of substrates.The CO₂ dosage and supplementation with nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus fertilizers is advisable. If the iron content is sufficiently high, the crowns will turn red. Rotala sp. "Nanjenshan" likes large water changes, up to ⅓ of the aquarium water volume. Due to the delicacy and small size of its leaves, it is particularly suitable for aquariums with small fish or for a general aquarium with young fish. Like any stem plant, it looks best in a group. Tall stems with small leaves tolerate regular pruning well. The resulting cuttings, inserted into the substrate every few inches, quickly form a striking green background for other plants and decorations. As a terrestrial plant, it blooms with single flowers.. 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 on the selected items..

Hygrophila polysperma gehört zu den „einfachsten“ Pflanzen in der Aquaristik. Selbst unter schlechtesten Bedingungen kann sie noch einigermaßen weiterwachsen. Verbessert man die Wuchsbedingungen, gedeiht die Pflanze natürlich deutlich besser. Bei guter Beleuchtung färben sich ihre Triebspitzen rötlich braun. Sie wächst sehr schnell, deshalb muss sie öfter als andere Stängelpflanzen zurück geschnitten werden. Für die Erstbepflanzung und als Algenvorbeugung sehr zu empfehlen.

Glossostigma Elatinoides

Glossostigma elatinoides Glossostigma Elatinoides, is a foreground plant with strikingly strong green leaves. Under strong light conditions, it grows quickly and covers the ground densely.Difficulty of growing: demandingLight requirements: highCO₂ requirements: highHeight of mature plant: up to 3 cmGrowth rate: fastTemperature: 18-28°CPlacement in aquarium: ForegroundOrigin: Australia and New ZealandCup diameter: 6 cmGlossostigma Elatinoides is a showy green turf plant that is popular with aquascarpers to establish a lawn. It spreads by sprouting. An ideal plant for the foreground of an arrangement. Glossostigma Elatinoides (Australian Hymenoptera), called Glosia, is one of the smallest aquarium plants, reaching a height of 2-3 cm. It is therefore suitable for nano aquariums. It often forms a lawn in the foreground of the aquarium.It needs lots of light to reach an optimal condition. With little or no phosphorus, it tends to grow tall. It likes supplementation with macronutrient fertilizers. A good quality granular substrate and CO₂ fertilization are necessary for its growth. Glossostigma elatinoides is planted in the substratein clumps at small intervals of 1-2 cm. The best cultivation results are obtained in a fertile active substrate. It multiplies very easily by lateral regrowth. Under favorable conditions, it covers the aquarium with a beautiful, dense carpet. Over time, the rhizomes build on each other. Once a dense turf has formed, you will need to regularly prune it so that it does not detach from the substrate. It is best to use sharp scissors with curved blades for this purpose. Frequent pruning will help the plant compact and grow. As it grows, it will form a uniform group. Glossostigma Elatinoides can also grow in aquariums set up using the dry start method and the Wabi Kusa arrangement.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 on the selected items.
