Everything about plant care for your aquarium
Healthy aquatic plants are the centrepiece of every aquarium. They supply the water with oxygen, bind nutrients and create a natural, lively environment for fish and shrimps. To ensure that your plants grow vigorously and remain lush green in the long term, you need the right plant care - from nutrient supply to regular care with the right tools.
Optimum care for aquatic plants
In planted aquariums, there is often an imbalance between light, CO₂ and nutrients. Targeted aquarium fertilisers are essential to promote healthy growth. These provide all the important macro- and micronutrients that aquatic plants need for photosynthesis and cell growth.
Overview of fertiliser types for aquarium plants
Phosphate fertiliser (PO₄): Promotes the energy supply of plants and prevents growth stagnation. Particularly important for heavily lit aquariums.
Iron fertiliser (Fe): Supports leaf colouration and prevents chlorosis (pale leaves). Indispensable for red and fast-growing species.
Potassium fertiliser (K): Strengthens the cell structure, prevents holes in leaves and improves the absorption of nutrients from other elements.
Complete fertiliser: Contains a balanced mixture of all essential trace elements such as iron, manganese, zinc and copper - ideal for daily use.
Macro fertilisers: Supplement nitrogen (N), phosphate (P) and potassium (K) specifically when plant growth is particularly strong. The right combination of these types of fertiliser can prevent both nutrient deficiencies and algae problems - the result is healthy, colourful aquatic plants with stable growth.

In our range you will find products from well-known manufacturers such as Easy-Life, Aqua Rebell, Tetra, Sera, Dennerle, Chihiros and Greenscaping. These brands stand for many years of experience in aquaristics and offer reliable solutions for plant fertilisation, water treatment and care.
Care products and accessories
In addition to fertilisers, mechanical care also plays an important role. Aquarium scissors, tweezers and plant tongs make it easier to prune, insert and shape plants. This keeps the aquarium looking harmonious and the plants retain their vitality.
