The small Anubias grows best when tied up on stones and roots (see Mbuna trees on page 78). The dwarf spear leaves are very often used for cichlids from Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika. Here they look particularly decorative between the stone structures.

All about aquarium plants - mother plants

Discover the impressive variety of mother plants for aquariums!

In the Zoo Roco aquarium shop you will find a large selection of strong and high-quality aquarium mother plants that are perfect for small, medium and large aquariums as well as for sophisticated aquascaping designs.

Mother plants are particularly large, well-developed aquarium plants that come from professional aquarium plant nurseries. They are characterised by their strong root system, dense growth and hardiness. These plants are ideal for immediately creating a lush, natural effect in the aquarium or as a basis for propagating other plants. Many mother plants are cultivated emerse or submerse and supplied in high-quality pots - free from harmful substances, of course.

Popular mother plants for the aquarium

The best-known mother plants include Echinodorus species (sword plants), Anubias, Cryptocoryne species, Vallisneria or Microsorum (Java fern). These plants are robust, grow vigorously and are ideal for immediately adding structure, colour and naturalness to your aquarium. Due to their size and stability, mother plants are particularly popular in large aquariums, show tanks or as eye-catchers in aquascapes.
