Rotala rotundifolia 'Green

Ceratopteris cornuta - Grobblättriger Hornfarn max. Wuchshöhe - 50 cm Herkunftsland Afrika, Asien, Nord-Australien Eignung Diskusaquarium, Gesellschaftsaquarium Typ Farn Familie Pteridaceae Gattung Ceratopteris Vermehrung Adventivpflanzen an den Blättern Wuchsgeschwindigkeit schnell pH 6 - 8 Wasserhärte 10 - 30 °dh Hinweise Einsteigerpflanze. Pflegeleicht Eine pflegeleichte, zarte Farnpflanze, die auch oft für Zuchtaquarien eingesetzt wird. Unter den Schwimmblättern auf der Wasseroberfläche fühlen sich z.B. Labyrinthfische sehr wohl, hier können sie problemlos ihre Schaumnester bauen. In der Pflege ist der Farn recht einfach, stärkere Beleuchtung und CO2-Gaben fördern das Wachstum enorm und es bilden sich besonders kräftige Farnwedel. Auf der Blattunterseite können sich oberhalb der Wasseroberfläche kleine Brutpflänzchen entwickeln. Sie können in den Bodengrund als Neubepflanzung verwendet werden.

Vesicularia montagnei - In-Vitro max. Wuchshöhe - 5 cm Herkunftsland Südostasien Eignung NanoCube, Aquascaping, Gesellschaftaquarium Typ  Aufsitzerpflanze Familie Hypnaceae Gattung Vesicularia Vermehrung Teilung Wuchsgeschwindigkeit langsam pH 5 - 8 Wasserhärte 10 - 20 °dh Hinweise   Dieses schöne Moos kommt von den Sunda-Inseln in Indonesien. Im Handel wird es auch als „Christmas-Moos“ bezeichnet. Dieser Name leitet sich von den nach unten hängenden Sprossen ab und erinnert an die Zweige eines Weihnachtsbaumes. In der Kultur sehr einfach und pflegeleicht, kann es jederzeit in Form geschnitten werden. Wie alle Moose wächst V. montagnei gerne auf Wurzeln und Steinen. Dies hat auch den Vorteil, eine Landschaft mit wenigen Handgriffen umgestalten zu können.

JBL ProScape Volcano Mineral - Volcanic natural substrate for aquascaping Volcanic rock substrate as stable foundation for rock and root wood constructions: dedicated substrate for aquascaping aquariums Basis substrate for natural aquariums: porous volcanic rock ensures water circulation at the bottom. Supplies plant roots with organic plant nutrients Vigorous plant growth: ideal oxygen supply and circulation through open-pored structure. Long-term supply with nutrients and minerals Safe foundation, no slipping: volcanic rock becomes firmly interlocked. Ideally suited for a firm foundation Underwater gardenerAquascaping is the term used for designing aquarium landscapes. This is where plant compositions, reproductions of landscapes above water or natural biotopes are created. An aquascaping aquarium contains no or few fish and invertebrates. This way the nutrient supply for plants is reduced and their growth is limited. Nitrogens, phosphorus and other minerals become scarce substances and need controlled and exact re-dosing. For healthy growth in their beautiful underwater landscape the plants need light, CO2 and the right nutrients.Volcanic rockThe highly porous volcanic rock fulfils important functions in an aquascaping aquarium: Firstly it forms a stable foundation for further rock constructions and/or root wood, which would otherwise slip downwards through the soil. Secondly many beneficial bacteria settle inside the porous structure. The porousness of the rock structure also enables the nutrient to penetrate it and it thus supplies numerous minerals enabling the plants to take root and grow well inside it.The calculation formula for the right amount of substrate is:length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm): 1000 = litres JBL ProScape VolcanoMineral

Rotala sp.'Nanjenshan'Rotala sp. 'Nanjenshan' is a fast-growing tertiary plant that stands out for its delicate structure and provides plenty of greenery in the aquarium. Difficulty of cultivation: moderately demandingLight requirements: medium to highCO₂ requirements: mediumHeight of mature plant: Up to 50 cmGrowth rate: fastTemperature: 20-28°CPlacement in aquarium: backgroundOrigin: TaiwanCup diameter: 6 cm The tall stems with the fine leaves Tolerate regular pruning well. At a distance of a few Centimeters planted in the ground, it spreads and forms a a striking green background for other plants and decorations. 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..

Alternanthera reineckii 'Rosanervig' Alternanthera Reineckii Rosanervig is a red aquarium plant for the middle ground of the aquarium. The striking pattern on the leaves makes this species a real rarity in any planted aquarium.. Growing difficulty: moderately demanding Light requirement: medium CO₂ requirement: medium Outgrown plant height: up to 30cm Growth: medium Temperature: 22-28°C Placement in aquarium: second level Origin: cultivated variety Cup diameter: 6cm Alternanthera Reineckii 'Rosanervig', or Alternanthera Reineka Rosanervig, also known as Red Ruby. You may also come across the name Alternanthera Cardinalis, but that is not the scientific name for this plant. It is a very impressive member of the Amaranthaceae family that looks best in the background, in the center of the tank.In large aquariums, it can be planted in the foreground. If regularly cut back to a height of 5-10 cm, it will form a beautiful red carpet. Its distinctive feature is the burgundy pink leaves with contrasting light veins. The color of the leaves depends on the conditions in the aquarium. It is popular for arrangements in Dutch style aquariums. It is recommended to plant 6-7 seedlings in a group to form a compact, interesting-looking shrub. This variety needs a lot of light and is quite a demanding plant in this respect. A fertile substrate is also essential. It grows well in active media. The plant easily reproduces by dividing shoots that grow at the base of the stem and leaves. Cuttings cut from the mother plant can be put directly into the substrate. They quickly form a root system. For lush growth is recommended average minimum fertilization of Alternantera rosanervig with CO₂, i.e. with a content of 6 - 14 mg/l. It is advisable to use liquid fertilizers so that the plant does not lack micro and macro elements. This variety is not very demanding on water parameters. It grows in soft to hard water with pH between 5 and 8. The leaves of Alternantera rosanervig are very dense, so the plant is often used by smaller fish as protection from predators, and shade-loving species like to stay under it. Alternantera rosanervig looks nice near species such as Hemianthus callitrichoides Cuba and Aponogeton boivinianus . It contrasts nicely with the green of the other aquatic plants.Planting:The plant must be removed from the cup and thoroughly rinsed of 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.
