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.

The prerequisite for rapid growth of this plant is a constant temperature of 25-30°C.

The dosage of carbon dioxide and feeding with micro and macronutrient fertilizers ensure intensive growth. Staurogyne Repens absorbs nutrients mainly through its root system and therefore prefers a fertile substrate. Advanced aquarists, however, can keep this species attached to ornaments or decorations. It is enough to use a suitable adhesive. In this case, care must be taken to provide fertilizers to the water column. The best growth results are obtained when the plant is planted in an active substrate. Under good conditions, the plant grows very quickly. It does not require complicated care. All you need to pay attention to is regular pruning using sharp scissors with curved blades. Frequent pruning will help Staurogyne Repens become denser and grow. After pruning, it spreads and forms new stems with leaves. Therefore, it can also be used to create an interesting foreground. 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 intervals between 3 - 4 cm..

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.

With good lighting, the tips of its shoots turn rusty brown.
