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.

Rotala sp.' Pearl'. Rotala sp. 'Pearl' has tiny, delicate leaves that curve downward. These can shine in shades of green, pink and purple and look very graceful.Difficulty of cultivation: mediumLight requirement: highCO₂ requirement: highAdult plant height: up to 25 cmGrowth rate: mediumTemperature: 18-30°CAquarium location: middle ground, nano aquariumOrigin: AsiaCup diameter 6 cmVery small-leaved stem plant is a selection of Rotala macrandra. It is also known as Rotala sp. 'Pearl'. This form has downward curved, short leaves. It needs strong lighting, rather soft water and good CO2 and nutrients are recommended. Like Rotala macrandra 'Mini Type 2', 'Pearl' is probably a mutant of Rotala macrandra 'Green'. It tends to produce shoots that are the same as 'Green' Often these appear very soon after planting. These shoots grow much faster and maintain the growth pattern typical of 'Green'. They should be cut as soon as they appear to maintain the dwarf form typical of 'Pearl'. Propagation by cuttings can also be selected by replanting only the 'Pearl'-typical shoots. This dwarf form of Rotala macrandra comes into its own as a group in the foreground or middle ground, also and especially in nano aquariums.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..

Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' is an extremely decorative plant for the second level of an aquarium. It is characterized by narrow, strongly curled leaves with a dark brown-red coloration. This variety originates from India and is a true rarity.Difficulty of growing: mediumLight requirement: mediumCO₂ requirement: lowAdult plant height: up to 40 cmGrowth: moderateTemperature: 23-27°CPlacement in aquarium: second levelOrigin: Asia6 cm cup diameterCryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' is a very special and beautiful plant native to Asia. It can be found from Bangladesh to India to the island of Sri Lanka. In its natural habitat, this Cryptocoryne grows along streams and rivers in forests and higher elevations with humid climates. It is still little known in Europe and is considered a rarity in aquaristics, especially since it is rarely available in stores. Cryptocoryne Spiralis 'Red' is characterized by its dark brown-red, narrow leaves, which are strongly wavy and resemble a stripe with a wrinkled edge. The leaves are grouped in a rosette. In appearance, this plant resembles another Zwittera variety, namely Cryptocoryne Cispatula var. Red Cryptocoryne Spiralis contrasts well with green plants and is ideal for the background of the aquarium. It is original and unusual, making it an eye-catcher.It is not very demanding in cultivation, does not require special care and does not need regular pruning. You just need to provide her with the right growing conditions. It needs moderate light. It has no special requirements for pH, which is 6.0-7.0. It prefers moderately hard water up to 10°. The plant does not need any special fertilization as long as a nutrient-rich substrate is available. It is good if it contains an addition of clay and peat. It is also important that it is at least 5-7 cm thick, as this variety develops a rather strong root system. It has long, creeping stems and easily reproduces by spreading. To obtain a seedling, simply divide it.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.
