Everything about aquarium plants from the Aquarium Plant Shop Switzerland


Plants are the green centrepiece of every aquarium. They provide oxygen, offer hiding places and make a significant contribution to the water quality. In our aquarium plant shop in Switzerland you will find a large selection of high-quality aquatic plants - ideal for every tank, whether a nano aquarium, community aquarium or perch aquarium.


What are aquatic plants & aquarium plants?

Aquatic plants (also known as aquarium plants) are especially suited to life under water. They grow completely or partially in water and adapt ideally to the conditions in the aquarium. In addition to their decorative effect, they also fulfil important biological functions such as filtering pollutants and producing oxygen.


Country of origin aquarium plants

Origin Asia: Many popular species such as Cryptocoryne or Bucephalandra originate from the tropical waters of Asia.

Origin Africa: Robust species such as Anubias are native to Africa - perfect for shady spots in the aquarium.

Origin North America: Some stem plants and rare mosses come from clear, cool waters in North America.

Origin South and Central America: Classic aquarium plants such as Echinodorus and fine-stemmed plants are common here - ideal for South American-style tanks.


Planting zones in the aquarium

Foreground plants: Small-growing species such as ground cover plants or mini ferns - perfect for the front of the tank.

Mid-ground plants:  Medium-height plants that create transitions and organise structures.

Background plants: Fast-growing, tall plants, ideal for greening the back wall and for dense vegetation.


Special plant species & formats

Plants on decor: Plants tied up on roots or stones - can be placed directly without planting.

Mother plants:  Large, strong plants in pots with a well-developed root system - ideal for beginners and stable layouts.

In vitro plants: sterile plants grown in gel culture - free from algae, snails and pesticides.

Stem plants:  Versatile, often fast-growing - ideal for aquascaping or as nutrient consumers.

Floating plants:  Floating freely on the water surface - provide shade, reduce algae growth and offer protection for young fish.
