Hemianthus glomeratus - Baby tears

Micranthemum sp. 'Monte Carlo'Micranthemum sp. 'Monte Carlo' is a green plant that gets along with little light. It forms a green lawn in the aquarium. It can also be planted as an epiphyte on roots, ornaments or stones.Difficulty of cultivation: moderately demanding Light requirement: high CO₂ requirement: medium Height of mature plant: 2-10 cm Growth: medium Temperature: 23-28°C Placement in aquarium: in the foreground Origin: South America 6 cm cup diameter Micranthemum sp. 'Monte Carlo' (Micranthemum tweediei) is native to Argentina. It is a lawn plant with small, compact, round, light green leaves. In most cases, the leaves are 0.5-1 cm long. It is ideal fornano aquariums, but also for larger tanks. It forms a fast-growing carpet in the foreground of the aquarium. Under good conditions it spreads very quickly.Plant in small clumps close together or on roots or rocks. It floats well on substrate. When grown on decorative elements, it forms stems that hang down impressively. Pruning promotes density and growth of the plant. The care of Monte Carlo is not demanding. It consists of regular pruning with sharp scissors with curved blades.The cut longest branches can be planted in the ground as stems. Such a seedling will form roots and continue to grow.It also grows without additional carbon dioxide supply or macro- and micronutrient fertilizers. However, it should be remembered that it is a slow to moderate growth. To ensure optimal growth, the plant should receive good light conditions and additional CO₂.Fertile substrate and liquid fertilizer have a positive effect on the condition of the plant.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 in the substrate or on the selected objects.

JBL ProScape Start soil activator for plant growthActivation of the soil bacteriapromotes plant growth Reduces colonization with foreign germs and blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) Contents: 2 individually sealed metallized bags, 8 g each Mineral granules with live bacterial cultures for soil activation in aquariums from 20-100 l The JBL ProScape Plant Start is a soil activator specially developed for a quick plant start in aquariums. When introducing new aquatic plants, it often takes a long time until they have formed sufficiently strong roots to be well anchored in the soil. JBL ProScape Plant Start shortens this time considerably and promotes rapid plant growth.The product contains a special mixture of bacteria that facilitates the absorption of nutrients and trace elements by the plants. For example, precipitated iron III is converted into plant-available iron II. An additional advantage is the rapid initial colonization of the substrate by the bacteria, which break down organic matter and transform the substrate into a functioning additional filter in a short time. The resulting biofilm also reduces the colonization of blue-green algae (cyanobacteria).The JBL ProScape Plant Start is supplied in two individually sealed, metallized bags, each containing 8 g of mineral granules with live bacterial cultures. These are suitable for soil activation in aquariums with a volume of 20 to 100 liters

Cryptocoryne wendtii Braun Cryptocoryne wendtii Brown (formerly Cryptocoryne wendtii Tropica) max. growth height - cm Country of origin Sri Lanka Suitability Community aquarium, NanoCubes and aquascaping Type Rosette plant family  Araceae Genus  Cryprocoryne Propagation  Stolons Growth rate  medium pH 5-8 Water hardness very soft to very hard Notes   The brown colour variant of Cryptocoryne wendtii is also very popular and can be used in many planted landscapes. Its leaf edges are slightly wavy; in some cases, the leaves are also bullous in shape. The leaf colour is green to brown, sometimes with brown streaking. With good lighting, its leaves become deep dark brown. In combination with other green cryptocorynes, this creates a very striking contrast. Like almost all Cryptocorynes from Sri Lanka, it grows well in harder water and is therefore ideally suited for cichlid aquaria.

Nymphaea red - Red tiger lotus as a forcing tuber max. growth height - 50 cm Country of origin Africa Suitability Discus aquarium, community aquarium Type family Nymphaeaceae genus Nymphaea Propagation Seeds, daughter plants from the tuber Growth rate fast pH 5 - 8 Water hardness 0 - 20 °dh 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.
