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.

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.

Notes
The Tiger Lotus is widespread in tropical Africa and colonizes a wide variety of waters there - temporary ponds and lakes on the one hand, but also flowing waters on the other. It has a tuber as a storage organ with strong floating leaves. The most beautiful thing about this plant, however, are the submerged juvenile leaves, which do not reach the surface of the water. Of the two color forms, the red tiger lotus is the most popular among aquarists; however, its green color form is rarely found in the trade. Tiger lotus are quite undemanding, older and larger leaves are always removed at the base of the tuber.

Die Blattspreiten sind dazu noch ausgeprägt bullös. Sobald die Pflanze im Wachstum stagniert, muss eine Ruhephase der Pflanze herbeigeführt werden. Kühles Wasser und eine Verdunklung sind notwendig. Dies erreicht man am besten mit einem kleinen separaten Aquarium für ca. 3-4 Monate. Danach wird sie wieder in die Unterwasserlandschaft eingepflanzt.

Beginner plant
The distribution of sword plants extends from the USA to Argentina. E. argentinensis is one of the larger species and requires sufficient space in an underwater landscape. It is very suitable for open aquaria and its sturdy leaves look decorative above water. With a little patience, flowering shoots with white flowers will also form. A nutrient-rich substrate and medium to good lighting are required.

Diese Wuchsform ist wahrscheinlich durch eine Mutation entstanden und aufgrund der Wuchshöhe eher untypisch für die Gattung Hygrophila. Die Stängel sind stark gestaucht und die Blätter sitzen dicht an dicht in einer kompakten Form. Über Wasser kultivierte Pflanzen haben tief dunkelgrüne Blätter, im Aquarium sind sie leuchtend hellgrün. Sie wächst langsam, deshalb ist der Pflegeaufwand deutlich geringer als bei anderen Hygrophila-Arten. Für den Vordergrund ist sie gut geeignet. Wegen ihrer Blattform stellt sie eine schöne Abwechslung zu anderen Vordergrundpflanzen dar.

Der Sumatrafarn besitzt deutlich feinere Blätter als Ceratopteris cornuta. Diese Art kommt in vielen tropischen Ländern vor. Hier wächst sie meist im schlammigen Flachwasser, teilweise ist sie auch in Reisfeldern anzutreffen. Im Aquarium benötigt die grazile Farnpflanze genügend Platz, da sie doch sehr schnellwachsend ist. Bei einer mittleren Beleuchtungsstärke ist sie pflegeleicht und problemlos. Eine bewährte Anfängerpflanze für jeden Neueinsteiger in der Aquaristik.

Regelmässig zurückschneiden.
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.

Die Wasserpest, so der deutsche Handelsname, weist schon auf die Wuchseigenschaft hin. Egeria densa gehört wohl zu den gutwüchsigsten Pflanzen überhaupt und ist vollkommen unproblematisch in der Kultur. Mit Heimat in Südostbrasilien und Argentinien, ist sie mittlerweile aber in allen Kontinenten eingebürgert. Bei der Sorte „Dichtblättrig“ ist die Beblätterung des Stängels extrem dicht und kompakt. Sie wächst auch sehr gut eingepflanzt oder freischwimmend im Gartenteich, ist aber bedingt nur winterhart.

With its two suction points and two return options, the aquarum can be optimally flooded and there are no dead beans.But the biggest advantage we see in the large pre-filter of 1.5 liters, which catches the coarse dirt. This filter sponge can be cleaned without having to disassemble the filter. This extends the life of the filter many times over and for the aquarist the cleaning is done with a few handles in the shot.Even if once at short notice another filter medium must be used (such as activated carbon to remove staining or drug residues, this medium can be placed in the pre-filter. However, place a thin layer of absorbent cotton over it so that the large amount of dirt is removed again. While using other filter media in the pre-filter, however, you need to clean the wadding every other day.Product description from Aquael:
