Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red'

Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' is a very special and beautiful plant native to Asia. It can be found from Bangladesh to India to the island of Sri Lanka. In its natural habitat, this Cryptocoryne grows along streams and rivers in forests and higher elevations with humid climates.
It is still little known in Europe and is considered a rarity in aquaristics, especially since it is rarely available in stores.
Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' is characterized by its dark brown-red, narrow leaves, which are strongly wavy and resemble a stripe with a wrinkled edge. The leaves are grouped in a rosette. In appearance, this plant resembles another Zwittera variety, namely Cryptocoryne Cispatula var. Red Cryptocoryne Spiralis contrasts well with green plants and is ideal for the background of the aquarium. It is original and unusual, making it an eye-catcher.
It is not very demanding in cultivation, does not require special care and does not need regular pruning. You just need to provide her with the right growing conditions. It needs moderate light. It has no special requirements for pH, which is 6.0-7.0. It prefers moderately hard water up to 10°. The plant does not need any special fertilization as long as a nutrient-rich substrate is available. It is good if it contains an addition of clay and peat. It is also important that it is at least 5-7 cm thick, as this variety develops a rather strong root system. It has long, creeping stems and easily reproduces by spreading. To obtain a seedling, simply divide it.
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

Nesea sp. Gold
Nesea sp. GoldNesea sp. "Gold" is a stem plant, with intense yellow to orange colors that is rare in aquarium plants. Growing difficulty: : medium, demandingLight requirement: mediumCO₂ requirement: mediumAdult plant height: 40-50 cmGrowth: mediumTemperature: 22-28°CPlacement in aquarium: third levelOrigin: AfricaCup diameter 6 cmNesea Crassicaulis Gold (Nesea sp. Gold) from Africa, a quite rare and very decorative plant with medium requirements and moderate growth rate.With sufficient light, it takes on colors ranging from bright yellow to intense orange. Nesea sp. Gold is not very demanding in terms of growing conditions. The yellow coloration of the leaves can be achieved even with moderately intense light. The stronger the lighting, the more the color shifts towards an orange tone. The plant can reach a height of up to 50 cm and is thus intended for the third level. However, it has a fairly moderate growth, so it does not require frequent pruning and with good care can be used as a foreground plant. Nesea sp. Gold needs CO₂ in gaseous form, but the carbon dioxide requirement is not too high and medium due to the growth rate is not too fast. It requires nutrient-rich water for optimal appearance. However, attention should be paid to potassium levels, as excess can cause deformation of the growth cones.It grows best at temperatures between 22 and 28 degrees Celsius. Since it prefers high temperatures, it is suitable for tanks with a population of extremely heat-loving fish. The undoubted advantage of this plant is the combination of a very unusual leaf color and low requirements. Nesea sp. Gold provides a good contrast with both green and red foliage plants, and the effect is relatively easy to achieve. It does not require a large amount of CO2. It likes soft and slightly acidic water, but can grow in other parameters as well. It needs good light, a nutrient-rich substrate, CO2 and adequate fertilization to achieve intense coloration. If you want to keep Nesea sp. Gold as a background plant, you should prune it regularly. This will not only keep it at the right height, but will also make it thicker and give it a striking appearance. After pruning, the plant will rejuvenate and the cut tops can be planted in the ground.Planting: Before planting, simply rinse the plants from the gel. Unlike plants kept in rockwool, partial drainage is not required..

Rotala rotundifolia 'Green
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.

Sie ist im normalen Kulturbestand in einer Gärtnerei in Taiwan entdeckt worden. Nach der Isolation hat es einige Jahre gedauert, bis ein stabiler Bestand vorhanden war. Durch die hellgrüne bis goldgelbe Blattfarbe unterscheidet sie sich deutlich gegenüber den anderen dunkelgrünen Anubias-Arten. Die Beleuchtung sollte hier nicht zu schwach sein, da die Pflanzen sonst wieder dunkler in der Blattfarbe werden.

Hottonia inflata
Hottonia inflataHottonia Inflata (Nasturtium Hottonia) is a low-maintenance, secondary plant. It is characterized by branching stems with alternate pinnate, light green leaves.Difficulty of growing: easyLight requirements: mediumCO₂ requirements: mediumHeight of adult plant: up to 40 cmGrowth rate: fastTemperature: 18-26°CPlacement in aquarium: Second levelOrigin: North AmericaShell diameter: 6 cmHottonia Inflata (Nasturtium Hottonia, Nasturtium Columbine) is a relatively easy to grow stem plant. It is intended for the second or third tier of plants in the aquarium. Its natural range is central and eastern North America. It grows in wetlands where it overgrows shallow, still waters such as swamps and ponds. It prefers moderate, moist climates without extreme temperatures and acidic water, but can tolerate neutral water. In nature, seeds germinate in shallow waters in fall or winter. The young plants are protected from low temperatures by water. As they grow, the stem expands until it reaches the water table. When the temperature rises, the plant forms the characteristic flower stalks with which it floats on the water surface.The flowers appear by late spring or summer. The plant produces numerous seeds that float on the water surface for a short time. They then sink to the muddy bottom of the pool where they germinate or go dormant for a year. After the seeds are released, the plant dies. Therefore, it should be cut back regularly in the aquarium. Hottonia inflata has branched stems from which alternate elongated, pinnate, light green leaves emerge. It is prized by aquarists for its unique appearance, ease of cultivation and rapid growth. In aquariums, the plant is propagated vegetatively by lateral regrowth or by cutting off the tips and planting them in the substrate. After pruning, it spreads and forms dense clumps.It does not require CO₂ fertilization, but its administration significantly accelerates growth. Like other plants, it needs liquid fertilizers so that it can absorb nutrients from the water column (nitrogen compounds, potassium, phosphates, iron, magnesium). It grows best in an active substrate; if the substrate is poor, it is advisable to add additional fertilizer directly under the roots.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.
