Notes  

This growth form is probably the result of a mutation and is rather atypical for the Hygrophila genus due to its height. The stems are strongly compressed and the leaves sit close together in a compact form. Plants cultivated above water have deep dark green leaves, in the aquarium they are bright light green. It grows slowly, which is why it requires significantly less care than other Hygrophila species. It is well suited to the foreground. Its leaf shape makes it a nice change from other foreground plants.

Cryptocoryne wendtii Brown - Brown cryptocoryne
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.

Hygrophila corymbosa - cherry leaf - giant water lover
Hygrophila corymbosa / Cherry Leaf - Giant Waterleaf max. growth height - 50 cm Country of origin  Southeast Asia Suitability Discus aquarium Type  Stem plant Family Acanthaceae Genus Hygrophila Propagation Tip cutting Growth rate fast pH 5 - 8 Water hardness 0 - 30 °dh Notes  Beginner plant Hygrophila corymbosa is a widespread stem plant in Southeast Asia. There are some varieties that differ in leaf shape. Generally, the emergent leaves are considerably darker in colour than in the submerged stage. The giant waterleaf is a good beginner‘s plant for the background. Its rapid growth absorbs excess nutrients and thus deprives algae of their food source. As soon as the shoots reach the water surface, they should be cut back by half. A tiered arrangement of the stems is recommended.

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.
