"Guyana" is an interesting cultivar of a coneflower well known to aquarists. It attains a very intense green coloration and forms a dense forest in the aquarium. It has beautiful decorative narrow leaves. Unique to it is that the plant remains bright green even in above-average light, while other paddlers turn red.
Also, it grows relatively slowly and has short stems that branch easily. Thanks to its compact growth, it does well in nano aquariums. Guyana plant contrasts well with red plants, especially when planted as background for them.
It requires fertilization with micro and macro elements, and it is also worth feeding it with CO₂ in gaseous form. It does not need a very fertile substrate, as it takes up most of its nutrients from groundwater. However, if you put fertilizer capsules or tablets under its roots, the plant will also benefit.
You can propagate Myriophyllum very easily by cutting the plant to a length of about 5 cm and planting a new shoot in the substrate. The plant quickly sprouts new roots and begins to climb upwards.
The delicate leafy leaves of the plant form a very dense clump in the aquarium, which immediately catches the eye.
Myriophyllum sp. 'Guyana' is an ideal plant for aquarists who love nano tanks and delicate plants. The stems branch very easily and thicken into a showy thicket. Frequent shortening aids the branching process. In elaborately designed cubes, it is a real eye-catcher.
In larger aquariums, there is a risk that Myriophyllum is hardly visible in the midst of larger-than-life plants, unless you plant it in dense clumps.
The plant comes from an in vitro cultivation, which means that it is free from snails, parasites and algae. A high-quality gel was used as the culture medium, so it can quickly and easily adapt to the new conditions.
.
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.

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.

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.

It is native to Brazil, more specifically to Mato Grosso in the Rio Amazon. It has long, brittle stems with pinnate, whorled leaves.The plant itself is reminiscent of dill in appearance. Under good conditions, it can bloom with small, red, single flowers.
It needs a fertile, rich substrate and very intense lighting. Only then can it develop its full potential and show its beauty in the aquarium. It does not like coarse gravel, it grows much better in a fine but permeable substrate.
Intensive CO₂ fertilization is advisable. Liquid fertilizer added to the water column will also improve the aesthetic qualities of the plant, which likes to make use of these resources. If it is well fertilized, it grows luxuriantly and the stems have a beautiful red color. It needs a long day, so the light should be on for at least 8-10 hours. It is very sensitive to the parameters that are not maintained. With regular water changes it grows vigorously and the leaves spread into green fans, while in old water the leaves become much smaller and unsightly. If you change the water every few months, you may lose the plant. Myriophyllum Mattogrossense thrives in both soft and hard water.pH 6-7.2.Temperature 24-28°C It is also important that you prune the Myriophyllum regularly. If the plant is not pruned, it will get very fine leaves, especially in the lower part, which will look very unflattering. Regular pruning of the tops helps to prevent this.
The plant reproduces very easily, it is enough to plant the cut tip in fertile soil, and it will quickly form a rich, filamentous root system.
Due to the need for fertilizer and the capriciousness of the plant, it is not recommended for beginners in aquaristics.
The plant is grown in vitro and is free of snails, parasites and algae. A high quality gel was used as a nutrient solution for breeding, so it can quickly and easily adapt to new conditions..

Rotala sp. 'Nanjenshan' (Mayaka rosa) is a tertiary stem plant. It is native to Taiwan, where it occurs near the town of Nanjenshan, from which it takes its name. It is probably a natural hybrid of the round-leaved Rotala (Rotala rotundifolia) and Rotala wallichii. Both the stem and the leaves are light green in color. The tips of the stems may change color depending on growing conditions. It is characterized by its delicate structure. The leaves are whorled on the stem in groups of 3-6, up to 2 cm long and only 0.1-0.2 cm wide. It is described as moderately demanding. It tolerates temperatures between 20-28°C and likes soft to hard water. Optimum pH is between 6.0-7.0.Rotala sp. Nanjenshan' is a fairly demanding plant in terms of light conditions. Its best growth is ensured by bright and long lighting, even 12-14 hours per day. A symptom of insufficient light is a thin stem and a lighter color of the leaves, especially in the lower part. In extreme cases, the lack of light leads to the death of the plant. Therefore, it should not be planted too densely. It can grow in a variety of substrates.The CO₂ dosage and supplementation with nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus fertilizers is advisable. If the iron content is sufficiently high, the crowns will turn red. Rotala sp. "Nanjenshan" likes large water changes, up to ⅓ of the aquarium water volume.
Due to the delicacy and small size of its leaves, it is particularly suitable for aquariums with small fish or for a general aquarium with young fish. Like any stem plant, it looks best in a group. Tall stems with small leaves tolerate regular pruning well. The resulting cuttings, inserted into the substrate every few inches, quickly form a striking green background for other plants and decorations. As a terrestrial plant, it blooms with single flowers..
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..

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.

An easy to grow stem plant, ideal for the background of the aquarium. It is characterized by its beautiful green coloration and rapid growth.Difficulty of growing: easyLight requirements: mediumCO₂ requirements: mediumGrown plant height: up to 60 cmGrowth: fastTemperature: 25-30°CPlacement in aquarium: Third levelOrigin: Asia6 cm cup diameterLimnophila Sessiliflora is an easy to grow stem plant, perfect for the third level of a tank. Native to Asia, the plant is characterized by pinnate leavesof light green color. They grow in groups of 6-9 leaves around the stem. Limnophila sessiliflora looks best incompact groups. Because of its structure, it makes an excellent hiding place for juvenile fish. The advantage of this plant is that it is easy to grow. It requires only moderate light, about 0.5 W/l. However, the plant adapts to the light conditions. In stronger light, the stems become thicker, the green color more bright and the structure more compact. In weaker light, the stems may elongate between the leaf nodes, which affects the appearance of the plant.
It can be successfully grown without CO₂ supply. It grows up to 60 cm tall, which makes it a good choice for planting the third level of the tank. Its intense growth helps the aquarium look quickly overgrown. The growing stems can be cut at any point and then replanted in the substrate. In this way, we can quickly compact the clumps. The prerequisite for rapid growth of this plant is a constant temperature of 25-30°C. Although Limnophila Sessiliflora tolerates short-term temperature fluctuations well, it grows fastest at a constant temperature. Because of its growth rate, additional fertilization of the tank with iron- and potassium-rich fertilizer is recommended.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.
