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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Cryptocoryne lucens ist pflegeleicht und einfach in der Kultur. Die Pflanze bildet schmale und reingrüne Blätter aus. Mit einer Wuchshöhe von 10 - 20 cm ist sie gut für den Vordergrund geeignet. Sie wächst recht langsam, daher ist der Pflegeaufwand gering. Wie bei vielen rosettenartig wachsenden Pflanzen werden lediglich äußere und ältere Blätter entfernt. Ein kompletter Rückschnitt ist allerdings auch möglich und fördert das Wachstum eines dichten Pflanzenbestands. Ca. 2 - 3 cm über dem Bodengrund werden die Pflanzen abgeschnitten.

Ebenfalls aus Sri Lanka stammt die Cryptocoryne lutea. Ihre Blattfärbung ist meist dunkelgrün und z.T. mit einer feinen Strichelzeichnung. Wie bei den meisten anderen Wasserkelch-Arten geschieht die Vermehrung über Ausläufertriebe. Nur wenige Zentimeter neben der eigentlichen Pflanze erscheint aus dem Bodengrund ein neuer kleiner Trieb. Möchte man die Verbreitung eindämmen, genügt es, wenn man diese neuen Triebe einfach mit Hilfe eine scharfen Schere oder Messer entfernt.

Eine sehr anspruchslose Stängelpflanze ist der „Brasilianische Wassernabel“ Hydrocotyle leucocephala. Wir entdeckten die Pflanze im Flachwasser von kristallklaren Flüssen, aber auch im feuchten Untergrund des dichten Dschungels. Im Aquarium wächst sie sehr schnell und ist für den Aquaristik-Anfänger sehr zu empfehlen. Sobald die Triebe die Wasseroberfläche erreicht haben, wachsen sie flutend weiter. Wegen des schnellen Wachstums müssen die Stängel öfters eingekürzt und neu gesteckt werden.
