Alternanthera Reineckii (Parrot Leaf)Alternanthera Reineckii 'Lilacina' is a beautiful red plant for the background or back wall of an aquarium. A very decorative plant, exceptionally colorful.Difficulty of cultivation: demandingLight requirements: highCO₂ requirements: mediumHeight of mature plant: up to 40 cmGrowth rate: slowTemperature: 17-28°CAquarium location: foreground, backgroundOrigin: South AmericaCup diameter 6 cmAlternanthera Reineckii 'Lilacina' is also called Lilac Alternanthera. It is intended for the second level of the aquarium or for the background. This species has been cultivated for a long time.The natural habitat of this species is the tropical regions of South America, where it grows in swamps and on the banks of rivers and lakes. It is a typical marsh plant. For this reason, it likes to grow above the water level, ideal for aquariums with low water levels. The stems above the water are often covered with tiny white or purple flowers. This variety has elongated, lance-shaped leaves that can grow up to 9.5 cm long.It is propagated by cuttings. It is recommended to place a few cuttings in a group to obtain a compact form. However, for the plant to develop all its beauty, it must find the right conditions. It grows best in soft to medium hard water up to 12 GH with a pH of 5 to 7. It is an extremely light-loving variety. It likes full spectrum light best. Intense light for 10 hours per day makes it grow faster and produces beautiful dark red leaves. Alternantera 'Lilacina' also needs CO₂ fertilization for lush growth. This can be done at a medium level, so between 6 and 14 mg/l. A deficiency of macro- and micronutrients is immediately noticeable in the form of changes in the leaf blades. The best substrate for this variety is a active substrate of good quality; it also grows well and happily in garden soil. It forms a poorly developed root system, consisting of a single bundle of thin and tender roots. It is worth cutting this plant back, and the cut shoots can be planted directly into the soil to obtain new cuttings. 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..

Hygrophila corymbosa Kompakt / Kurzstängeliger Wasserfreund max. Wuchshöhe - 15 cm Herkunftsland  Zuchtform Eignung NanoCube, Aquascaping und Gesellschaftaquarium Typ  Stängelpflanze Familie Acanthaceae Gattung Hygrophila Vermehrung Kopfsteckling, Seitentriebe Wuchsgeschwindigkeit langsam pH 5 - 8 Wasserhärte 0 - 30 °dh Hinweise   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.

Dennerle PowerTabs - Special root fertiliser for aquarium plants For lush, strong growth Plus iron and manganese for colourful leaves Ideal for new setups and for supplementary fertilisation Perfectly balanced nutrients and trace elements Plus iron and manganese for colourful leaves With natural clay minerals as a nutrient buffer Immediate and lasting effect Ideal start-up support for new plants – for fast, secure rooting Fresh growing power for older plants Eliminate lack of nutrients (stunted growth, pale colours, yellow leaves) Send nutrients straight to the roots – does not promote algae Power Tabs supply aquarium plants with all the important nutrients they need for healthy, lush growth - ideal for heavily rooted species. All nutrients are in a form directly available to the plants with immediate and lasting effects. Valuable trace elements such as iron and manganese ensure lush, green leaves. Red colours are intensified and attractive markings made clearer.For a fast, secure start - strong plants right from the beginningThe rooting phase is a difficult time for any aquarium plant: They have to completely regrow their root network and become acclimatised to the new water and substrate conditions. Dennerle PowerTabs ensure that newly planted aquarium plants root securely and grow strongly right from the start.Special root activators promote root growth so that the plant can become anchored into the substrate quickly. A specially formulated nutrient complex helps the plants to adapt to the new conditions more quickly. Fresh growing power for older aquariaThe substrate of any aquarium loses nutrients over the course of the year. The substrate should be rejuvenated at the latest when the resulting growth impairments can no longer be remedied by means of normal fertilisation of the water column (leaf fertilisation). Dennerle PowerTabs replenish the nutrient reserves in the substrate. They fill nutrient gaps that inevitable arise as an aquarium gets older, especially in terms of essential trace elements.
