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..

Micranthemum umbrosum Micranthemum Umbrosum is a light green stem plant with small round leaves. Depending on how it is pruned, it is suitable for both the foreground and background of the aquarium. Difficulty of cultivation: easy Light requirement: medium, to high CO₂ requirement: medium Height of the adult plant: 20 cm Growth: fast Temperature: 22-26 °C Placement in the aquarium: Second level Origin: North and Central America Cup diameter: 6 cm Micranthemum Umbrosum (Round-leaved meadowfoam) is a naturally occurring plant in North and Central America. It grows both in water and in marshy areas. It is prized by aquarists for its unique appearance. The plant forms long stems with paired, alternate, small, round, light green leaves. It has a fairly well developed root system. It needs regular pruning and is easy to shape into a desired form. It is propagated vegetatively by cutting off the shoot tips and planting them in the ground. It likes water with a hardness of 2-12°N, a pH of 5.5-7.7 and a temperature of 24-26°C. It is sensitive to trypaflavin and can be damaged by snails. It has fairly high light requirements. With insufficient light, it pulls upward, and distinct gaps can be seen between the leaves. With sufficient light, it forms dense clumps that are pleasing to the aquarist's eye.Micranthemum umbrosum is usually placed in the background of the aquarium, but it also looks good in the foreground when cut short. It does not require absolute CO₂ fertilization, but grows much faster in its presence. When growing this plant, pay special attention to the proper concentration of iron in the aquarium water.. 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 set them at intervals of 1 to 2 cm.

Lobelia cardinalis Lobelia Cardinalis is a green plant, recommended for the second level of the aquarium and for the paludarium. It looks great in a group and likes to grow above the water surface.Difficulty of growing: easyLight requirements: mediumCO₂ requirements: lowAdult plant height: up to 30 cmGrowth: mediumTemperature: 15-28°CPlacement in aquarium: second levelOrigin: North AmericaShell diameter 6 cmLobelia Cardinalis or Cardinal's Strophica is a plant native to North America. In the wild, it is found in wetlands and along riverbanks. It is distributed from the Gulf of Mexico through the eastern states of the United States to southern Canada. It grows in the ground and has a well-developed root system. The feathery stems can develop auxiliary roots in leafless areas. Its distinctive ornamental feature is the light green, oval leaves with a prominent pale central vein. It is very comfortable in a paludarium, where it forms a 0.5 m high flower head with red flowers. Lobelia can be cultivated in aquariums and paludariums. It thrives beautifully in muddy soil as well as underwater.It tolerates temperatures from 15 to 28 °C and can also be kept in a pond. It thrives best at 20-23°C. It does well in soft to medium hard water with a pH between 6.5 and 7.2.Without adequate light the leaves turn yellow, but in bright light the undersides of the leaves turn purple-red. It is not particularly demanding, but regular water changes, fertilizer and CO₂ support its growth and allow it to grow 5 cm per month. Uncut, it grows above the water surface by forming overwater leaves, and may also flower.In the aquarium, lobelia should be planted in a group in the background, but it also works well as a foreground plant. It is used in lobelia avenues or to form showy thickets. Pruning is necessary to maintain a beautiful habit; use scissors to remove older leaves. You can also cut back the entire plant and use the cut tips as cuttings. A young plant can also be grown from an old leaf. Cuttings rooted in a paludarium can be transplanted to an aquarium. In an aquarium, stem pruning forces the plant to form side shoots. 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 3-4 cm lumps and then place them in the substrate..

Micranthemum sp. 'Monte Carlo'Micranthemum sp. 'Monte Carlo' is a green plant that gets along with little light. It forms a green lawn in the aquarium. It can also be planted as an epiphyte on roots, ornaments or stones.Difficulty of cultivation: moderately demanding Light requirement: high CO₂ requirement: medium Height of mature plant: 2-10 cm Growth: medium Temperature: 23-28°C Placement in aquarium: in the foreground Origin: South America 6 cm cup diameter Micranthemum sp. 'Monte Carlo' (Micranthemum tweediei) is native to Argentina. It is a lawn plant with small, compact, round, light green leaves. In most cases, the leaves are 0.5-1 cm long. It is ideal fornano aquariums, but also for larger tanks. It forms a fast-growing carpet in the foreground of the aquarium. Under good conditions it spreads very quickly.Plant in small clumps close together or on roots or rocks. It floats well on substrate. When grown on decorative elements, it forms stems that hang down impressively. Pruning promotes density and growth of the plant. The care of Monte Carlo is not demanding. 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.
