Notes  

The pond liverwort Riccia is found worldwide and colonises floating water surfaces or damp soils. It was Takashi Amano who first introduced this floating moss to the aquarium hobby. In many of his designs, Riccia can be admired as a foreground plant. Cultivation and care are very simple: the moss clumps are tied onto stones or roots, where they can grow beautifully. The compact growth habit is maintained if the light green clumps are trimmed with scissors from time to time. CO₂ 2 -supplementation significantly promotes growth.

Aquatic plants in vitro

In vitro plants are cultivated in the laboratory under sterile conditions. They are supplied in a 7cm closed container. The small plants are completely free of algae and snails and can be planted directly. This product group is ideal for smaller aquariums and nano cubes as well as for modern aquascaping. You can easily see how demanding each plant is by looking at the top right-hand corner of the packaging. Before planting, simply rinse off the culture medium and portion out the plant

Salvinia auriculata (Salvinia auriculata)
Salvinia auriculataSalvinia Auriculata (Brazilian salvinia) is a floating plant native to South America. It grows moderately quickly so that its population can be controlled. Easy to grow. Absorbs nitrogen to combat algae. Propagates by spreading.Difficulty of cultivation: easy to mediumLight requirement: medium to highCO₂ requirement: lowHeight of the adult plant: 0.5 cmGrowth: moderate to fastTemperature: 22 - 24°CPlacement in the aquarium: SurfaceOrigin: South and Central AmericaCup diameter 6 cmSalvinia Auriculata (Brazilian Salvinia) is a floating ornamental plant. It is native to the calm, still waters of South and Central America. It can be found from Paraguay to Cuba. It owes its popularity above all to its original appearance. Its small oval leaves with a diameter of 10 mm cm are arranged opposite each other on an elongated leaf stalk. These leaves are covered with fine hairs that trap air bubbles, allowing them to float. Depending on the light intensity, they are wavy or flat. Salvinia forms a third type of underwater leaves on which the spores are deposited.Like all floating plants, Salvinia is recommended for shady waters . Its great appetite for nitrogen and phosphorus compounds makes this plant a good ally in the fight against algae. Salvinia has low light and nutrient requirements. It grows well in both moderate and strong light. As a floating plant, it does not require a substrate but draws all the necessary nutrients directly from the water. During the vegetation period, it reproduces by spreading, whereby the growth rate is moderate. This makes it easy to control its growth and remove excess plants. It grows to a length of 3-6 cm and likes warm, humid air, so it is advisable to use a glass or cover when growing it.It should be placed in such a way that no condensation falls on the plants. It adapts very quickly to the new parameters. However, it should be borne in mind that it will die if there is too little light. It thrives best in soft to medium-hard water at 22-24°C. The in vitro culture of plants is carried out in tissue culture laboratories. Thanks 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 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. Place the plant on the surface of the water.

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.

Hemianthus callitrichoides Cuba - Dwarf baby tears
Hemianthus callitrichoides Cuba (Dwarf - Pearlwort) max. growth height 3 - 5 cm Country of origin Central America Suitability NanoCube, aquascaping, community aquarium Type Stolons family Scrophulariaceae Genus Hemianthus Propagation Division Growth rate medium pH 5 - 8 Water hardness 0 - 20 °dh Notes   The Cuban Pearlwort was only discovered a few years ago in a stream on the island of Cuba . Due to its leaves, which are only a few millimetres in size, this Hemianthus is considered the smallest aquarium plant in the world. In terms of water parameters, the Pearlwort is very adaptable; however, very good lighting and a good supply of CO2 are essential. Plants grown emersed are divided into small pieces and planted in batches. Within a few weeks, this creates a dense carpet in the foreground. An aquarium layout combined with a rock landscape looks very decorative and natural.
