Sri Lanka ist die Heimat von sehr vielen Wasserkelch-Arten, so auch die der Cryptocoryne beckettii. Auch sie wird schon seit Jahrzehnten in Aquarien erfolgreich gepflegt. Am Naturstandort ist sie an schattigen Stellen im Uferbereich von Bächen und Flüssen anzutreffen, wo sie amphibisch über und unter Wasser wächst. Die Färbung ihrer submersen Blätter ist variabel von Grün- bis Brauntönen. Unterschiedliche Färbungen der Blätter bei ein und derselben Art sind typisch für die Gattung Cryptocoryne.
Limnophila aromaticaLimnophila Aromatica (fragrant limnophilia) is a beautiful plant for the second or third level. It turns purple under intense light.Difficulty of cultivation: moderate Light requirement: medium CO₂ requirement: medium Adult plant height: up to 50 cm Growth: moderate Temperature: 22-28°C Placement in aquarium: second or third level Origin: Asia Cup diameter: 6 cm Limnophila Aromatica (fragrant Limnophila, rice paddy weed) is a plant that has earned a place in aquariums around the world due to its unique appearance and leaf color. It is native to Asia, where it usually grows in rice paddies or swamps near water. It does well after the end of the rainy season in a dry place in a still moist, sandy soil. At high temperatures, the plant flowers, forms fruit, and then dies. Traditionally used as a spice, especially in Vietnamese cuisine. Its flavor is reminiscent of cumin and lemon. Currently, the plant can also be found in America and Australia.Limnophilia Aromatica is a stalk plant that produces lance-shaped leaves with serrated edges. Their color depends on the intensity of light. If the plant has little access to light, its leaves are green. If the light is strong, the entire top of the plant is intense red and the leaves are purple on the underside.
In aquariums, plant it in the second or third level, leaving a distance of 1.5 cm between cuttings. It grows quite fast, its optimal pH is 6-7. It tolerates temperatures between 15 and 30 °C, but it is better to avoid extreme temperatures and keep it between 22 and 28 °C. In aquariums it is propagated by cutting and planting young plants that form on the stems or from the tips. The plant does not require absolute CO₂ fertilization, but grows much faster with CO₂ addition.
To achieve the desired intense red-purple color of the leaves, the plant must be strongly illuminated. In addition, attention must be paid to the correct water parameters in the aquarium, especially the optimal iron, nitrate and phosphate content, so that the plant can absorb the nutrients from the water column. Due to its strongly developed root system, the plant grows best in active media.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.
Eriocaulon CinereumEriocaulon Cinereum is a very interesting and eye-catching plant species for the foreground of an aquarium. The plant is characterized by slow growth and the shape of the leaves resembles needles.Cultivation difficulty: moderately demanding Light requirement: high CO₂ requirement: high Height of the adult plant: up to 5 cm Growth: slow Temperature: 19-29 °C Placement in aquarium: in the foreground Origin: Asia 6 cm cup diameter Eriocaulon Cinereum is an undersized plant that does well in the foreground of an aquarium. This species is found on the Asian continent, especially in countries such as China and the Himalayan region. In China it is very common in its natural habitat, but in other countries it is hard to find. Recently, it has gained popularity due to its original and unique structure and characteristic flowers.The plant is characterized by very slow growth, as it takes about 6 months to form a rosette with a diameter of 10 cm. It reaches an average height of 5 cm. There must be a very fertile substrate, as the species has a very extensive root system. Through this, the plant absorbs most of the nutrients it needs for growth. It tolerates a wide range of water temperatures from 19 to 29 °C. It also grows in water with medium to high hardness,but prefers soft water. To ensure good growth, strong lighting and CO₂ dosage is essential, as well as micronutrient fertilization. Under these conditions, it will reward us with a beautiful rosette appearance with many young leaves.The propagation of this plant can be done in several ways. The easiest and most popular is the division of the rosette. This can be done as early as about a month after planting the plant in the aquarium. To get new cuttings, pull out a single plant and remove it from the water. Use a sharp tool to carefully cut the rosette into smaller pieces, and then use tweezers to place them in the substrate. After some time, the cut should be covered with new leaves, and the plant will take on a spherical shape.In aquariums, it likes to bloom, so its original inflorescences make an unusual decoration for any aquarium. 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.
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.
Pogostemon yatabeanusPogostemon Yatabeanus is a beautiful tertiary plant. It grows vertically upwards and impresses with its pale green appearance and fine texture. Difficulty of cultivation: demandingLight requirements: highCO₂ requirements: highHeight of mature plant: up to 40 cmGrowth rate: fastTemperature: 20-28°CPlacement in aquarium: third levelOrigin: Asia6 cm cup diameterPogostemon Yatabeanus (Bearded) is a pale green stem plant. It grows on the banks of rivers, ponds, swamps and rice fields in eastern and southern China, the Korean peninsula and Japan. The size and shape of the leaves are somewhat reminiscent of Pogostemon stellatus. The leaves and stem are green in color. The leaves are 4-6 cm long and narrow. In the aquarium the plant is very conspicuous and forms forest-like compositions with evenly planted trees. It grows vertically upwards and does not interfere with other plants. It does well in a group. It is a very decorative plant that is perfect for the background. It has a stiff red stem that is densely covered with bright green, pointed leaves that grow in threes in a whorl. It makes an ideal shelter for smaller fish species and shrimp. It looks most beautiful in a group of about a dozen seedlings.Plant Pogostemon Yatabeanus in the substrate. The best growth results can be achieved by using an active substrate. Under good conditions, it spreads very quickly. The administration of liquid fertilizer with micro and macro elements has a positive effect on its development.
It can reach a height of up to 40 cm. It thrives best in an acidic to neutral pH. It requires good filtration and weekly water changes in the aquarium. Requires an additional addition of carbon dioxide.
Pogostemon yatabeanus has high light requirements. Under good conditions it grows quickly and compacts well. The intense growth of the plant is greatly enhanced by the dosage of carbon dioxide and the addition of micro and macro elemental fertilizers.It is easy to shape and prune. It requires little maintenance. It reproduces by lateral regrowth. As with most stems, cut stems can be replanted in the ground.
Divide the purchased plant into individual stems and plant them at close 2-3 cm intervals. Pogostemon yatabeanus spreads very quickly, so you should give it enough space to grow. 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 on the selected items..
Pogostemon erectusPogostemon Erectus is a green-stemmed aquarium plant. It looks especially attractive when planted in compact groups, in the background.Difficult to grow: moderately demanding Light requirements: medium CO₂ requirements: medium Height of the adult plant: up to 40 cm Growth rate: moderate Temperature: 20-28°C Aquarium location: Foreground, background Origin: Asia - India Cup diameter 6 cm Pogostemon Erectus, or erect chard, is a decorative, light green stem plant that resembles a mini-conifer in its growth. It belongs to the light family. It is an ideal background plant. It is best planted in groups, as it forms dense clumps that provide a background for other aquarium species. Pogostemon likes to grow above the water surface.
Pogostemon grows between 15 - 30 cm tall, but can reach up to 40 cm under favorable conditions. The width of a single stem is usually not more than 3 cm. The plant needs quite a lot of light, otherwise there are no major care requirements. Due to the moderate growth rate, pruning is rather rare. It tolerates water with a pH of 5.5-8 and water hardness of 1-20° dH.
Pogostemon can be propagated by planting cut tips in the substrate. Pruning is recommended to maintain a compact structure. This variety is not difficult to grow as long as it receives sufficient light (at least 0.5 W/l). CO₂ fertilization is advisable.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed of 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 on the selected items..
Limnophila sessiliflora
An easy to grow stem plant, ideal for the background of the aquarium. It is characterized by its beautiful green coloration and rapid growth.Difficulty of growing: easyLight requirements: mediumCO₂ requirements: mediumGrown plant height: up to 60 cmGrowth: fastTemperature: 25-30°CPlacement in aquarium: Third levelOrigin: Asia6 cm cup diameterLimnophila Sessiliflora is an easy to grow stem plant, perfect for the third level of a tank. Native to Asia, the plant is characterized by pinnate leavesof light green color. They grow in groups of 6-9 leaves around the stem. Limnophila sessiliflora looks best incompact groups. Because of its structure, it makes an excellent hiding place for juvenile fish. The advantage of this plant is that it is easy to grow. It requires only moderate light, about 0.5 W/l. However, the plant adapts to the light conditions. In stronger light, the stems become thicker, the green color more bright and the structure more compact. In weaker light, the stems may elongate between the leaf nodes, which affects the appearance of the plant.
It can be successfully grown without CO₂ supply. It grows up to 60 cm tall, which makes it a good choice for planting the third level of the tank. Its intense growth helps the aquarium look quickly overgrown. The growing stems can be cut at any point and then replanted in the substrate. In this way, we can quickly compact the clumps. The prerequisite for rapid growth of this plant is a constant temperature of 25-30°C. Although Limnophila Sessiliflora tolerates short-term temperature fluctuations well, it grows fastest at a constant temperature. Because of its growth rate, additional fertilization of the tank with iron- and potassium-rich fertilizer is recommended.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 3-4 cm lumps and then place them in the substrate..
Bucephalandra sp. "Wave leaf"
Bucephalandra sp. "Wave Leaf" is an aquarium plant that can grow on rocks and roots. An endemic species from the Indonesian island of Borneo. The rhizome of the plant should not be buried in the soil.Difficulty of growing: easyLight requirements: lowCO₂ requirements: lowHeight of mature plant: 10 cmGrowth: slowTemperature: 22-28°CPlacement in aquarium: second levelOrigin: Borneo Island, Southeast AsiaCup diameter: 6 cmAlthough the Bucephalalander has been known to botanists since the mid-19th century. Century is known, it enjoys in the aquaristics only for about a decade of growing popularity. The genus name refers to the name of Alexander the Great's beloved horse, Bucephalus. Bucephalandra sp. Wavyleaf was found in the wild in the riparian rivers of Borneo. Its characteristic feature is the relatively narrow and long leaves of deep green color with wavy edges.In terms of overall structure and requirements, it resembles the popular Anubias. Aquascapers like to use this plant in arrangement design because it requires little maintenance due to its moderate growth. Bucephalandra can be successfully cultivated in paludariums, but the leaves above water are thicker and differently colored.Bucephalandra sp. 'Wave Leaf' overgrows rushing streams and rivers with strong currents in the wild. It is also commonly found on the slopes of waterfalls. In the aquarium, it can therefore be successfully planted near the filter outlet or the circulating pump.This variety of Bucephalandra is easy to grow and therefore recommended for beginners. It has a wide range of tolerable parameters. It grows in both soft and hard water, with a GH of 0 - 30. pH should be between 5 and 8. It can thrive in partial shade and even in shade, although it looks more colorful in intense lighting.The propagation is similar to that of Anubias. It forms derived rhizomes that emerge from the main part of the plant. To obtain new cuttings, simply cut off the side shoots. If it stays on the mother plant, it forms a nice, compact growth.
In the background, attached to a root or rock, it cuts a fine figure. Its adhesive roots grow very strongly into the pores of rocks or roots. After some time, the grip is so strong that it is practically impossible to remove the plant without scissors or a knife. Bucephalandra can also be planted in loose and porous substrate, such as lava, but be sure to avoid covering the rhizome. Planted deep in the substrate, it loses its leaves and dies. In addition to aquariums, this species is also well suited for paludariums, but the humidity must always be kept high. Otherwise, the leaves of Bucephalandra will dry out and die.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 on the selected items.
Rotala wallichiiRotala wallichii is a slow growing, stem plant. The needle-like, delicate leaves are red in color and provide an eye-catching feature in your aquarium.Growing: difficultLight requirements: highCO₂ requirements: highAdult plant height: up to 40 cmGrowth: slowTemperature: 24 - 26°CPlacement in aquarium: second or third levelOrigin: Asia6 cm cup diameterRotala Wallichii is a demanding plant with red coloration. It is native to southeast Asia. Its Polish name is Rotala periwinkle. The leaves have the shape of fine needles. The intensity of color increases with increasing light output and is characterized by slow growth. Mature stems reach a height of up to 40 cm.
The place of planting must be well planned. Faster growing plants can completely cover it. It should not be planted too densely, as the lower parts of the trunk are sensitive to lack of light. As it grows, it will form a uniform group of mature plants.
The plant has a high light requirement. Strong light, fertilization and CO₂ dosage are necessary for good growth. It requires soft, slightly acidic water that is rich in carbon dioxide. Under these conditions, it thrives optimally. The exceptionally delicate appearance and subtle beauty of this plant rewards the hard work of breeding.
Rotala wallichii grows well in a fertile substrate. You will get the best growth results if you plant it in an active substrate. Propagation is by shoot cuttings.
Cultivation from in vitro plants is done in tissue culture laboratories. The cuttings are free from snails, algae or pathogens thanks to sterile production conditions.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 on the selected items at a small distance..
Bucephalandra sp. "Aqua Artica
Bucephalandra sp. "Aqua Artica" is an aquarium plant that likes to grow on rocks and roots. It is an endemic species from Borneo.Difficulty of cultivation: easyLight requirements: lowCO₂ requirements: lowHeight of adult plant: 10 cmGrowth: very slowTemperature: 20-27°CPlacement in aquarium: Second levelOrigin: Borneo Island, Southeast AsiaCup diameter: 6 cmThe genus name is derived from the Greek term 'bull's head' and refers directly to the dust sacs in the horn-like inflorescences. Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica is a beautiful and rather rare species native to Southeast Asia. It is an endemic plant from Borneo that is not often found in aquariums and can be considered a rarity.Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica belongs to the Araceae family, the picture plant family. The family counts up to 2,500 species, among which there are some epiphytes like Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica. In the wild, it grows on rocks, in streams and rivers with rushing currents, or on the walls of waterfalls.It prefers partial shade or even full shade. Its natural habitat is humid tropical forests where there is very little light. Borneo is in an equatorial climate zone, which means that there are dry and rainy seasons. As the rains come, the levels of the rivers rise, causing Bucephalandra to flood for months at a time. For this reason, the plant has taken on submersible characteristics and does well under water. When fully submerged, it is more intensely colored and has a finer leaf structure.Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica has creeping stems with the tip pointing vertically upward. The characteristic elongated green leaves with a prominent central vein are its special ornament.It grows slowly and does not exceed 10 cm in height.
It is a low-maintenance species that needs no pruning and no intense lighting. It tolerates temperatures from 20 to 27 °C. However, it should be noted that it may lose its leaves in case of sudden changes in water or light parameters. Even if the plant loses its leaves but has a healthy rhizome, there is a good chance that it will recover and grow well again. Bucephalandra grows well in soft, slightly acidic water. The supply of carbon dioxide and fertilizers will favor the growth of the plant.It is not difficult to grow and can be recommended to beginners in aquaristics.
It looks great in the background, attached to a root or rock. In any case, the roots of Bucephalandra should not be covered with substrate. Outside the aquarium, this species is also well suited for paludariums, where, however, it has less color and stiffer leaves.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 on the selected items.
Hygrophila lancea 'Chai'A striking color distinguishes this foreground plant - an eye-catcher in any aquarium.Cultivation difficulty: moderately demandingLight requirement: highCO₂ requirement: medium to highAdult plant height: Bushy, low growthGrowth: SlowTemperature: 20 - 28°CPlacement in aquarium: ForegroundOrigin: South Island Aquarium in Singapore.
Cup diameter: 6 cm
Unique pink Hygrophila 'Chai' is a striking variegated cultivar of Hygrophila lancea "Araguaia" that appeared at South Island Aquarium in Singapore. Its narrow-lineal leaves, curved to the side, are green only in the center, the margin is white to pink. The shade is reminiscent of that of Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Flamingo' and 'Pink Panther'. So like the normal 'Araguaia', Hygrophila lancea 'Chai' grows submersed rather spreading and strongly branched.
We recommend for Hygrophila lancea 'Chai' rather strong lighting, CO₂ addition and good macro and micronutrient supply. Growth is slow, and occasional cutting of shoot tips encourages bushy growth. Just like other stem plants, you can propagate this Hygrophila by heading and partial cuttings.
Hygrophila lancea 'Chai' provides a unique bright pink color accent in the mid to foreground, best as a smaller bushy group. It contrasts strongly with dark plants and decorative materials.Planting: The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed of 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 on the selected items.
Bucephalandra sp. Browni
Bucephalandra sp. Brownie is an aquarium plant from the island of Borneo. It grows naturally on rocks and roots. In the aquarium it should be attached to decorative elements.Difficulty of growing: easy to moderateLight requirements: lowCO₂ requirements: lowHeight of mature plant: 10 cmGrowth rate: SlowTemperature: 22-28°CPlacement in aquarium: second levelOrigin: Borneo Island, Southeast AsiaCup diameter: 6 cmBucephalandra sp. 'Brownie' is found in the wild on the Asian island of Borneo. Its striking, green-brown, glossy foliage gives it a very attractive appearance. In terms of requirements, it resembles Anubias. It is popular in aquascaping to create gorgeous underwater landscapes that require very little maintenance due to its moderate growth.Bucephalandra can also be grown in paludariums and terrariums.
Bucephalandra sp. Brownie is a real rarity. In nature it grows in streams and rivers, but also on the slopes of waterfalls for example. The equatorial climate zone where Borneo is located is known for its abundant rainy seasons. As the rains come, the levels of the rivers rise, damming up Bucephalandra for months at a time. For this reason, the plant has taken on submersive characteristics. Under water it is more intensely colored and has a finer leaf structure.Bucephalandra sp. Brownie is an easy plant to grow, provided the right conditions are present. It does not make great demands on the parameters. It grows in both soft and medium hard water. It prefers a pH between 5 and 8. The light requirement of this species is low, and it thrives in partial shade and even in shade. If the conditions in the aquarium suit it, it will begin to produce offspring which can be detached and propagated. If allowed to grow, they will form a dense clump. It may also be that it blooms.
In the background, attached to a root or rock, it makes the best figure. Dthe rhizomes of Bucephalandra in any case should not be covered with substrate. Outside the aquarium, this species is also excellent for paludariums, where it forms stiffer foliage.
Bucephalanders are interesting plants that belong to the rheophytes. They have a prehensile root that keeps them on rocks, and they do not need a substrate to grow properly.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 put them on the selected items at a small distance..
Rotala sp.' Pearl'.
Rotala sp. 'Pearl' has tiny, delicate leaves that curve downward. These can shine in shades of green, pink and purple and look very graceful.Difficulty of cultivation: mediumLight requirement: highCO₂ requirement: highAdult plant height: up to 25 cmGrowth rate: mediumTemperature: 18-30°CAquarium location: middle ground, nano aquariumOrigin: AsiaCup diameter 6 cmVery small-leaved stem plant is a selection of Rotala macrandra. It is also known as Rotala sp. 'Pearl'. This form has downward curved, short leaves.
It needs strong lighting, rather soft water and good CO2 and nutrients are recommended. Like Rotala macrandra 'Mini Type 2', 'Pearl' is probably a mutant of Rotala macrandra 'Green'. It tends to produce shoots that are the same as 'Green' Often these appear very soon after planting. These shoots grow much faster and maintain the growth pattern typical of 'Green'. They should be cut as soon as they appear to maintain the dwarf form typical of 'Pearl'. Propagation by cuttings can also be selected by replanting only the 'Pearl'-typical shoots.
This dwarf form of Rotala macrandra comes into its own as a group in the foreground or middle ground, also and especially in nano aquariums.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..

Die Zwergnadelsimse Eleocharis pusilla ist in Australien und Neuseeland beheimatet und besiedelt dort Feuchtgebiete mit unterschiedlichen Wasserständen. Die Wuchshöhe ist im Unterschied zur Eleocharis acicularis deutlich kürzer, meist nur wenige Zentimeter hoch. Ein weiteres Unterscheidungsmerkmal sind die hellgrünen, leicht gebogenen Halme der Zwergnadelsimse. Optimal wächst diese Graspflanze im kühleren Wasser, permanent höhere Temperaturen über 25° C verträgt sie nicht. Für Stein Layouts im Stil von Iwagumi ist diese zarte Schönheit hervorragend geeignet für die Darstellung einer frischen „Sommerwiese“. Wie die Nadelsimse lässt sich auch die Zwergnadelsimse gut zurückschneiden, somit wird der Bestand noch dichter und kompakter.

Die Herkunft dieser kleinbleibenden Echinodorus ist unbekannt. Vermutlich ist sie durch Mutation in einem Pflanzenbestand einer Gärtnerei in Asien entstanden. Mit einer Wuchshöhe von nur 5-10 cm ist sie ideal für den Vordergrund geeignet. Der Lichtanspruch ist deutlich höher als bei der Stammform, auch eine gute Ernährung und CO2-Versorgung sind wichtige Vorrausetzungen für ein optimales Wachstum. In Nano Cubes wirkt die Pflanze in Einzelstellung sehr kontrastreich zu feingliedrigen Arten. In größeren Aquarien sollten mehrere Einzelpflanzen in einer Gruppe angeordnet werden.

Eine weitere Varietät des Formenkreises der C. wendtii ist unsere C421, ein mittelgroßer, brauner Wasserkelch, der sehr gutwüchsig und pflegeleicht ist. Seine Überwasserblätter sind rostbraun, im submersen Stadium sind die Blätter schokoladenbraun. Pflanztipp: Besonders klein und kompakt bleiben Wasserkelche, wenn sie in einem Tontopf wachsen. Dieser wird direkt in den Bodengrund gedrückt. Durch das geringe Volumen im Wurzelraum bleiben die Pflanzen kleiner - ein Bonsai-Effekt entsteht.

Hinweise
Die Pflanze ist zwar schon lange wissenschaftlich bestimmt, wurde aber erst vor einigen Jahren für die Aquaristik „entdeckt“. Mit ihren sehr dekorativen, stark gewellten Blatträndern gehört sie wohl mit zu den schönsten Vordergrundpflanzen. Auf den ersten Blick denkt man an eine Rosettenpflanze, sie ist jedoch eine stark gestauchte Stängelpflanze. Wenn man einige grundlegende Kulturbedingungen erfüllt, bildet die Pogostemon helferi wunderschöne Pflanzenpolster: gute bis intensive Beleuchtung, Temperaturen um 25 °C, mittelhartes Wasser. Unter diesen Voraussetzungen ist ihre Blattfarbe sattgrün. Die Pogostemon helferi kann sowohl in den Kies als auch auf Steine oder Wurzeln befestigt werden.

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.

Hinweise
Das kleine Pfeilkraut ist eine beliebte Aquarienpflanze mit sehr schmalen, bandförmigen Blättern. Auf den ersten Blick sehen diese den Blättern von Vallisnerien sehr ähnlich. Die Wuchshöhe der Sagittaria subulata var. pussila ist sehr variabel von wenigen Zentimetern bis zu 40 cm. Nur bei guter Beleuchtung bleibt das Pfeilkraut schön kurz für den Vordergrundbereich. Durch regelmäßiges Entfernen von Ausläufern mit längeren Blättern kann man den Pflanzenteppich kurz halten. Im mittelharten bis harten Wasser wächst diese Art am besten, bei der Wassertemperatur ist die Art sehr tolerant.
