Notes
The “Brazilian pennywort” Hydrocotyle leucocephala is a very undemanding stem plant. We discovered the plant in the shallow waters of crystal-clear rivers, but also in the damp substrate of the dense jungle. It grows very quickly in the aquarium and is highly recommended for novice aquarists. As soon as the shoots have reached the water surface, they continue to grow in a floating manner. Due to its rapid growth, the stems need to be shortened and replanted frequently.
🌱 Eleocharis parvula 'Mini' - Fine grass carpet for the foreground
Ultra-compact ground cover for detailed aquascapes
Eleocharis parvula 'Mini' from Aqua Art is a particularly low-growing variant of the well-known turf grass plant. It is ideal for nano aquariums and natural aquariums where a fine, even grass lawn is desired in the foreground. Due to its low height, the view of other design elements such as stones or wood is retained - ideal for modern Iwagumi layouts.
As an in vitro plant, it is free from algae, pesticides and snails, making it ideal for sensitive aquarium inhabitants such as shrimps.

Notes
The large Amazonas sword plant is perhaps the most popular plant in the aquarium hobby. Its leaves are 3–6 cm wider than those of the ‘amazonicus’ variety, and the height of up to 60 cm makes this species appear even more dominant. Mature clumps, some with more than 50 leaves, are a striking feature. However, the substrate must be at least 10 cm deep for the root system to develop properly. Combined with Helanthium species (dwarf Echinodorus), beautiful South American underwater landscapes can be created.

Notes
The "Thailand" variety has the narrowest leaves of the three different H. corymbosa varieties. Under good lighting, the leaves turn a reddish brown colour, under normal lighting medium to light green. The small, purple-coloured flowers can also be observed in open aquaria. Typical of their emersed shoots is the hairiness of the stems and the generally firmer and stiffer growth. Hygrophila species are also well suited to paludariums and humid terrariums.
