Ludwigia brevipes Ludwigia brevipes is a multicolored tertiary stem plant. It turns a striking red-orange color that reproduces vegetatively.Cultivation difficulty: moderately difficultLight requirements: highCO₂ requirement: highAdult plant height: up to 40 cmGrowth: mediumTemperature: 20-28°CPlacement in aquarium: third levelOrigin: North AmericaShell diameter 6 cmLudwigia Brevipes (Ludwigia sans-tail) is a tertiary plant, although it can be used successfully as a secondary plant in larger tanks due to its tendency to overgrow the aquarium substrate.It is found along the northeast coast of the USA. In aquaculture, this plant has lanceolate leaves that are up to 3 cm long and 5 mm wide. It is characterized by multicolored depending on the amount of light, distance between stems or water parameters.Ludwigia brevipes, like all plants that turn shades of red, needs carbon dioxide, strong light and fertilizer containing Fe-iron. The initially green leaves turn red-orange only under favorable conditions. Ludwigia brevipes is described as moderately difficult to grow. It tolerates a wide range of water parameters. It needs a temperature of 20-28°C. It grows in soft to hard water, but definitely thrives better in soft water, down to 10 degrees. It is often confused with Ludwigia acurata, although it forms denser clumps than the latter. As with any stalked plant, propagation is easy. Simply cut off the top and plant it in the ground. Planted in a group, it creates a beautiful effect mimicking a sunset in the aquarium, especially when planted behind gray rocks.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 3-4 cm lumps and then place them in the substrate..

Ceratophyllum demersum max. growth height - 120 cm Country of origin Cosmopolitan Suitability Discus aquarium, community aquarium, NanoCubes, perch aquarium Type Floating plant family Ceratophyllaceae Genus Ceratophyllum Propagation Head cuttings, side shoots Growth rate fast pH 6 - 8 Water hardness 5 - 25 °dh Advice Recommended as an algae stopper for all new installations. Care instructions The hornwort is a cosmopolitan plant that can be found in many bodies of water around the world. We found the free-floating stem plant in huge populations in a tributary of the Rio Miranda on the edge of the Pantanal in South America. The growth rate of the stems is enormous, so they have to be constantly pruned. Ceratophyllum is considered a "miracle weapon" against algae growth. The explanation is quite simple: the plant is a strong nutrient consumer and removes the algae's food source. The use of hornwort is recommended for every new aquarium.Wir sind sehr bemüht, dass unsere Pflanzen gesund und unbeschädigt bei Ihnen ankommen.

Bucephalandra sp. "Aqua Artica Bucephalandra sp. "Aqua Artica" is an aquarium plant that likes to grow on rocks and roots. It is an endemic species from Borneo.Difficulty of cultivation: easyLight requirements: lowCO₂ requirements: lowHeight of adult plant: 10 cmGrowth: very slowTemperature: 20-27°CPlacement in aquarium: Second levelOrigin: Borneo Island, Southeast AsiaCup diameter: 6 cmThe genus name is derived from the Greek term 'bull's head' and refers directly to the dust sacs in the horn-like inflorescences. Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica is a beautiful and rather rare species native to Southeast Asia. It is an endemic plant from Borneo that is not often found in aquariums and can be considered a rarity.Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica belongs to the Araceae family, the picture plant family. The family counts up to 2,500 species, among which there are some epiphytes like Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica. In the wild, it grows on rocks, in streams and rivers with rushing currents, or on the walls of waterfalls.It prefers partial shade or even full shade. Its natural habitat is humid tropical forests where there is very little light. Borneo is in an equatorial climate zone, which means that there are dry and rainy seasons. As the rains come, the levels of the rivers rise, causing Bucephalandra to flood for months at a time. For this reason, the plant has taken on submersible characteristics and does well under water. When fully submerged, it is more intensely colored and has a finer leaf structure.Bucephalandra sp. Aqua Artica has creeping stems with the tip pointing vertically upward. The characteristic elongated green leaves with a prominent central vein are its special ornament.It grows slowly and does not exceed 10 cm in height. It is a low-maintenance species that needs no pruning and no intense lighting. It tolerates temperatures from 20 to 27 °C. However, it should be noted that it may lose its leaves in case of sudden changes in water or light parameters. Even if the plant loses its leaves but has a healthy rhizome, there is a good chance that it will recover and grow well again. Bucephalandra grows well in soft, slightly acidic water. The supply of carbon dioxide and fertilizers will favor the growth of the plant.It is not difficult to grow and can be recommended to beginners in aquaristics. It looks great in the background, attached to a root or rock. In any case, the roots of Bucephalandra should not be covered with substrate. Outside the aquarium, this species is also well suited for paludariums, where, however, it has less color and stiffer leaves.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.
