Notes
Beginner's plant. Easy to care for
An easy-to-care-for, delicate fern plant that is also often used in breeding aquariums. Labyrinth fish, for example, feel very much at home beneath the floating leaves on the water’s surface, where they can build their foam nests without any problems. The fern is quite easy to care for; stronger lighting and CO2 additions promote growth enormously and particularly robust fronds develop. Small seedlings can develop on the underside of the leaves above the water surface. These can be used for new planting in the substrate.

Anubias barteri var. glabraAnubias barteri var. glabra' or Anubias minima. This is a recommended species for aquaria with little light. Ideal for medium-sized tanks. The plant is easy to grow, does not require intensive fertilization and reproduces by dividing the rhizome. In vitro plant.Difficulty of cultivation: easyLight requirement: lowCO₂ requirement: lowHeight of the adult plant: 15-25 cmGrowth: slowTemperature: 20 - 22°CPlacement in the aquarium: Middle groundOrigin: AfricaCup diameter 6 cmAnubias Barteri Var. Glabra is a green plant from the Asteraceae family that is native to the swamps of Africa. It can grow both under water and in water. It can be found in the trade under the name Anubias minima. Unlike other Anubias, it is easy to plant in the substrate and has characteristic lanceolate leaves that grow up to 15 cm long. It can reach a height of 25 cm, but grows slowly so that it can also be cultivated in small aquariums.
The plant has a rhizome from which roots grow that wrap tightly around the spot where it is planted , making it ideal for planting on roots or lava rock. It is suitable for a second or third planting
Anubias thrives at different temperatures. It is suitable for cooler tanks as well as warm, tropical aquariums, e.g. with discus fish.It tolerates hard, soft, acidic and alkaline water. It prefers weak, diffuse lighting. It can become overgrown with algae under prolonged and intensive lighting. It is therefore advisable to plant it in darker or even shady areas of the aquarium.This plant does not like neglected aquaria and prefers the water to be changed regularly and no dirt to accumulate on its leavesIt grows slowly but forms a very attractive shape, especially in a group that forms a green, decorative clump. It feels very comfortable in tanks with a low water level and looks great in 'dachshund' type aquariums, where it creates the effect of an aesthetically pleasing tank. Thanks to it, we can create very interesting compositions. It is also well suited for aquariums with cichlids and other herbivorous fish
It does not require special care, it is enough to remove older leaves, which stimulates the rhizome to form cuttings. If you want to obtain new cuttings, you can regularly divide the rhizome into 2-3 cm long sections.
To attach the Anubias to roots or stones, a very thin string, thread or a special adhesive for attaching aquarium plants is sufficient.
The in vitro culture of plants is carried out in tissue culture laboratoriesThanks to the sterile production conditions, the cuttings are free from snails, algae or pathogens.Planting:The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed of the gel under running waterThis is best done by placing the plant in a container of lukewarm water. Most of the gel will then fall off by itself.
Anubias Barteri Nana 'Petite'
Anubias Barteri Nana 'Petite' is a very small, uniformly filigree Anubias variety. Selection has resulted in a miniature form that is ideal for nano aquariums.Difficulty of cultivation: easy Light requirement: low CO₂ requirement: low Height of the adult plant: up to 5 cm Growth slow Temperature: 20-30 °C Placement in aquarium: In the foreground Origin: cultivation 6 cm cup diameter Anubias barteri is a succulent green plant of the rhizome family, naturally native to the swamps of Cameroon and Nigeria, growing in fast-flowing waters. It can grow both under and above water. "Petite" is a selected cultivar of Anubias barteri. This species does not occur in nature in such a miniature form. Consistent selection by Singapore botanists has resulted in a delicate, compact version of Anubias barteri for nano-aquariums. The variety is rarely seen in the trade and represents a kind of rarity. The plant has a rhizome that forms roots that strongly entwine the area in which it is planted. It is therefore ideal for planting on roots or rocks, such as volcanic lava.The very decorative, tiny, heart-shaped leaves are stiff and fleshy, shiny on the surface and have a velvety texture on the underside. At the same time, they are very hard and stiff, so herbivorous fish are not interested in them. The height of this miniature plant is less than 5 cm. Therefore, it is well suited for the foreground. However, it can also be used for eye-catching trees in the background. Under good conditions, it can produce a delicate white flower. Anubias Barteri Nana 'Petite' can handle a variety of temperatures. It can thrive in cooler tanks as well as in warm, tropical aquariums with discus fish, for example. It likes water with a pH of 5.5-8.0, up to 15 ° dH. it prefers weak, diffuse lighting, reaching more like 0.3 W/l. In case of prolonged and intense lighting, it may become overgrown with algae. Therefore, it is advisable to plant it in darker or even shaded areas of the tank. The plant does not like neglected aquariums, it prefers water that is changed regularly and does not leave dirt on its leaves. It grows slowly, but forms a very attractive shape, especially when it grows in a group to form a green, decorative clump. It is very comfortable in tanks with low water levels and looks great in nano aquariums. Therefore, it is a popular plant for many aquascapers. With it can create very interesting miniature compositions. It also does well in aquariums with cichlids and other herbivorous fish. It is often used in shrimp tanks and nano aquariums for fighting fish. It does not require special care, it is enough to remove older leaves, which stimulates the rhizome to form offshoots. If you want to get new cuttings, you can divide the rhizome into 2-3 cm long sections from time to time. To attach the Anubias to roots or stones, it is enough to use very thin string, thread or special glue for fixing aquarium plants.
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.

Notes
Vallisneria nana is a new vallisneria in the aquarium hobby. The species name “nana” means: dwarf. However, the plant only exhibits this growth behaviour in its natural habitat in Australia. In our aquaria, the plants can reach lengths of 30-70 cm. This very narrow-leaved species is therefore more suitable for the background. Cultivation and care are very simple, but here too it is important to control the growth of the runners. CO2-applications additionally promote the growth of all Vallisnerias.

It really couldn't get any smaller! It is probably the smallest Anubias in the world and a real enrichment for any underwater landscape. In cultivation and care it is just as robust as the parent form, but needs a little more light to form beautiful, compact cushions. The dwarf form can already be used in a 10 L Nano Cube. The plants look very natural when tied onto delicate roots. The red bogwood is best suited for this. But the Bonsai Anubias also cuts a fine figure on decorative stones.

The popular variety Echinodorus 'Ozelot' has been on the market for some time. Its striking pattern of spots is striking, reminiscent of the fur of the ocelot cat. The plant is very vigorous with narrow elliptical leaves. New leaves show an intense brown-red to dark red color. Over time, they turn dark olive green with the typical spotted pattern. The growth height of this attractive variety is only 20-30 cm. It is therefore also suitable for use in medium-sized aquaria.

Notes
The leaf shape of No. 9 is reminiscent of the pure green variety 'Harbich'. In addition, however, there is a very beautiful red spot pattern. The almost circular emersed leaves can only be observed above water; in the aquarium they have shorter stalks and the leaf shape is much more elongated. The olive-green leaves with reddish-brown markings are often wavy at the leaf edge. With a growth height of up to 25 cm, this variety is also suitable for smaller aquariums. Like all Jungle Star varieties, it is very easy to care for.

Carex panacea
– sedge for pond edges & shallow waterCarex panacea is a hardy sedge for damp banks and the shallow water edge zone of garden ponds. With a height of 60–80 cm, it brings a calm, natural structure to the planting scheme. The flowering period is from June to July (VI–VII), it is suitable for a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm and is hardy in zone 1–2.Flowering period: VI–VII (June to July)Height: approx. 60–80 cmPlanting depth: 0 to –15 cmPot size: approx. 9cmProduct specifications:They provide a stable, natural-looking structure at the pond edge and visually "frame" the shoreline neatly.Thanks to a planting depth of 0 to –15 cm, the sedge can be flexibly positioned on the damp edge or in very shallow water.With zone 1–2, Carex panacea is suitable for perennial, low-maintenance pond planting.Technical data:Botanical name: Carex panaceaCommon name: sedge Height (cm): 60 / 80 cmPlanting depth: 0 / –15 cmFlowering period: VI–VIIWinter hardiness zone: Zone 1 / 2Pot size: 9 cmWith Carex panacea, you choose a reliable structural grass for the garden pond, which permanently organises the bank zone and visually embeds the pond. Especially at pond edges, it is helpful to use plants that not only flower in specific spots, but also create a calm, natural line with their growth habit. Sedges are particularly well suited for this: they look neat, can be combined in various ways and add stability to the edge planting.With a height of approx. 60 to 80 cm, Carex panacea fits ideally into the middle to background of the pondside planting. It can serve as a green frame that structures the pond edge, while lower groundcovers and flowering shallow water plants in the foreground soften the transition to the water. The flowering period from June to July (VI–VII) falls in the early summer phase and complements the season, even if with sedges the focus is usually on foliage and structure.The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the plant flexible in use: directly in damp bank soil or in very shallow water. Depending on the pond layout, you can decide whether the sedge should act more as a marginal plant or as a shallow water element.The 9-cm pot is particularly suitable if you want to plant several plants to quickly achieve an even, natural bank line. For a neat pond edge and better control, a planting basket can be useful – this keeps the plant stable and makes it easier to move if necessary.
Thanks to zone 1–2, Carex panacea is winter hardy and therefore well suited for perennial pond schemes. A good choice if you are looking for a calm, low-maintenance structural plant for the garden pond, one that blends harmoniously into natural-looking bank designs.Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged at your address. Despite utmost care, it is possible for plants to be slightly damaged during postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves just as much as bent branches. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes. Zoo-Roco tip:
Plant sedges at the pond edge in small groups, slightly staggered, rather than in a straight line – this makes the shoreline appear more natural. If you want to keep the edge very neat, place Carex panacea in a planting basket at a depth of 0 to –15 cm and combine a low ground cover at the front for a soft finish.
