Ebenfalls aus Sri Lanka stammt die Cryptocoryne lutea. Ihre Blattfärbung ist meist dunkelgrün und z.T. mit einer feinen Strichelzeichnung. Wie bei den meisten anderen Wasserkelch-Arten geschieht die Vermehrung über Ausläufertriebe. Nur wenige Zentimeter neben der eigentlichen Pflanze erscheint aus dem Bodengrund ein neuer kleiner Trieb. Möchte man die Verbreitung eindämmen, genügt es, wenn man diese neuen Triebe einfach mit Hilfe eine scharfen Schere oder Messer entfernt.

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.

etwas anspruchsvoller
Eine Wasserkelchrarität ist Cryptocoryne x purpurea aus Südostasien. Es handelt sich hierbei um eine Naturhybride zwischen Cryptocoryne griffithii und Cryptocoryne cordata. Der hier beschriebene Typus stammt aus Borneo mit einer außergewöhnlichen Marmorierung der Blattspreiten. Das Wachstum ist deutlich langsamer als bei anderen bekannten Wasserkelcharten in der Aquaristik. Mit einer Wuchshöhe von ca.10 cm ( bisherige Kulturerfahrung im Aquarium) bleibt sie auch in der Größe relativ klein und kann somit je nach Beckengröße auch gut im Vordergrund eingesetzt werden. Nährstoffreicher Bodengrund ist wie bei alle Cryptocorynen sehr wichtig, da viele Nährstoffe über die Wurzel aufgenommen werden.
Wasserpflanzen In-Vitro
In Vitro - Pflanzen werden im Labor unter sterilen Bedingungen kultiviert. Sie werden in einer 7cm großen, geschlossenen Dose ausgeliefert. Die kleinen Pflänzchen sind absolut Algen und Schneckenfrei und können direkt eingepflanzt werden. Ideal ist diese Produktgruppe für kleinere Aquarien und Nano Cubes sowie für das moderne Aquascaping. Wie anspruchsvoll die jeweilige Pflanze ist, lässt sich ganz leicht an der oberen rechten Ecke der Verpackung erkennen. Vor dem Einsetzen muss lediglich das Nährmedium abgespült und die Pflanze portioniert werden

Limnophila aromaticaLimnophila Aromatica (fragrant limnophilia) is a beautiful plant for the second or third level. It turns purple under intense light.Difficulty of cultivation: moderate Light requirement: medium CO₂ requirement: medium Adult plant height: up to 50 cm Growth: moderate Temperature: 22-28°C Placement in aquarium: second or third level Origin: Asia Cup diameter: 6 cm Limnophila Aromatica (fragrant Limnophila, rice paddy weed) is a plant that has earned a place in aquariums around the world due to its unique appearance and leaf color. It is native to Asia, where it usually grows in rice paddies or swamps near water. It does well after the end of the rainy season in a dry place in a still moist, sandy soil. At high temperatures, the plant flowers, forms fruit, and then dies. Traditionally used as a spice, especially in Vietnamese cuisine. Its flavor is reminiscent of cumin and lemon. Currently, the plant can also be found in America and Australia.Limnophilia Aromatica is a stalk plant that produces lance-shaped leaves with serrated edges. Their color depends on the intensity of light. If the plant has little access to light, its leaves are green. If the light is strong, the entire top of the plant is intense red and the leaves are purple on the underside.
In aquariums, plant it in the second or third level, leaving a distance of 1.5 cm between cuttings. It grows quite fast, its optimal pH is 6-7. It tolerates temperatures between 15 and 30 °C, but it is better to avoid extreme temperatures and keep it between 22 and 28 °C. In aquariums it is propagated by cutting and planting young plants that form on the stems or from the tips. The plant does not require absolute CO₂ fertilization, but grows much faster with CO₂ addition.
To achieve the desired intense red-purple color of the leaves, the plant must be strongly illuminated. In addition, attention must be paid to the correct water parameters in the aquarium, especially the optimal iron, nitrate and phosphate content, so that the plant can absorb the nutrients from the water column. Due to its strongly developed root system, the plant grows best in active media.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 set them at intervals of 1 to 2 cm.

Bei guter Beleuchtung werden ihre Blätter tief dunkelbraun. In Kombination mit anderen grünen Wasserkelchen wirkt dies sehr kontrastreich. Wie fast alle Cryptocorynen aus Sri lanka wächst sie gut im härteren Wasser und ist somit bestens für Cichliden-aquarien geeignet.

Notes
This novelty was only recently correctly identified - its previous name H. spec. araguaia is no longer valid. The plant is small and forms reddish-brown narrow leaves under water. Sometimes it even grows creeping over the substrate. Cultivated in the emersed state, it often produces small, blue-violet flowers. With good lighting and a good supply of CO2, the plants grow much better. The new Hygrophila looks very delicate and only comes into its own in a larger group. In the Nano Cube, however, just a few stems are enough to add a splash of color.

Anfängerpflanze
Hygrophila corymbosa ist in Südostasien eine weitverbreitete Stängelpflanze. Dabei gibt es einige Varietäten, die sich in der Blattform unterscheiden. In der Regel sind die Überwasserblätter deutlich dunkler gefärbt als im submersen Stadium. Der Riesenwasserfreund ist eine gute Anfängerpflanze für den Hintergrund. Durch das schnelle Wachstum werden überschüssige Nährstoffe aufgenommen und so den Algen die Nahrungsgrundlage entzogen. Sobald die Triebe die Wasseroberfläche erreicht haben, werden sie wieder zur Hälfte eingekürzt. Dabei empfiehlt sich eine stufige Anordnung der Stängel.
