    Plant Description

    Native to the island of Sri Lanka, Cryptocoryne wendtii is one of the most common and widely used aquarium plants available today. It is also one of the most variable species, with several color variations including reds, browns, greens, and several mixes of those. To add to the variety, the texture of the leaves can vary greatly within the species, as can the leaf size, ranging from 5 to 18 inches.

     

    It can also be one of the easiest plants to grow and cultivate, even if it does have some finicky moments. Cryptocoryne wendtii can tolerate low light or high light, and seems to respond with longer foliage in lower light conditions. While it responds to CO2 injection, it will grow perfectly fine without it. The plant only requires stable conditions and some time to adjust after being introduced into a new setting.

     

    Uses in Aquascaping

    This variably sized Cryptocoryne can be used as a foreground plant in larger tanks with good light, assuming a variety is chosen that tends not to grow too large (such as the green varieties), or as a nice focal point in the midground of moderately sized aquariums. In smaller tanks it can be used as a distinct background plant where its leaves may reach the top and bend over to float along the water’s surface.

    Its rosette growth form provides contrast to clumps of stem plants and can be used to separate the aquascape into well-defined groups or sections. The aquascaper can also take advantage of this growth form by using it to hide the bottom portions of stem plants, as stem plants tend to shed the leaves on the lower portions of the stem because they are deprived of light.

    A well-planned grouping of Cryptocoryne wendtii can be used to make an attractive focal point or to draw focus to an adjacent area of interest. The wide variety of color and texture forms available within this species gives the aquarist a vast array of choices that will best suit the intended use.

     

    Propagation

    Cryptocoryne wendtii can be very easy to propagate. The grower only needs a portion of root with a living node to grow a new plant. However, growth is generally slow and it can take several months to have a full-sized plant develop.

    Most growers will pull up a larger plant and split it apart into clumps of smaller plantlets. These are simply replanted a few inches apart to allow for some growing room. It also reproduces via runners, or rhizomes, that develop from the roots. In nature it also reproduces from seed. There are many hobbyists who grow these Cryptocoryne emersed, trying to mimic their natural environment and to encourage the development of interesting and beautiful flower structures.

     

    Notes: Many hobbyists who first get Cryptocoryne wendtii into their aquariums will see a sudden deterioration in the plant and may think they have somehow killed it, even while other plants are thriving. It is important to keep in mind that these plants, while easy to maintain and grow once established, are finicky about changing conditions. Any sudden or drastic change in their surroundings can trigger this mysterious crypt melt. While the plants may seem to have suddenly died, a little patience by the hobbyist will shortly be rewarded by new leaves coming up from the otherwise healthy plant’s roots.

     Anubias nana gold is one of the beautiful variants of Anubias with yellow and green leaves. The special gold hue in the leaves makes it unique and brings amazing contrast with the green plants in the tank. Anubias is a great plant for beginners as it is easy to care for and maintain. If you are looking for a plant that can fill up the gaps and holes and is perfect for aquascaping, Anubias nana gold will be the right choice. Anubias belongs to the Araceae family. Basically, it is a dwarf variety of plants that can fulfil a lot of requirements of the tank. This plant is native to Africa; however, now it can be found in every part of the world. Aquarists show special interest in Anubias due to its hardiness and easy-to-care features. It grows easily in fully and partially submerged conditions. Appearance: Anubias nana gold features yellow or lime-green leaves with a golden hue that makes it different from other variants of Anubias and aquarium plants. This unusual colour makes it easily distinguishable in the tank. Like other Anubias species, it is a slow-growing hardy plant. It can be used as a middle ground plant where it can get low to medium lighting. However, the plants thrive the best when attached to rockwork or driftwood. Due to the specific features, dwarf habit and typical leaves colour, Anubias is often planted in terrariums and vivariums other than aquariums. Hard/soft Plant: It is a hardy plant that can thrive well under moderate light, carbon dioxide and nutrient supplementation. Ideal water temperature: The ideal temperature for the growth of Anubias nana gold ranges from 20 to 28 degrees Celsius. With the right temperature, the plant shows good growth and leaves exhibit good colours. Lighting and other requirements: Low to moderate light is suitable for the proper growth of Anubias nana gold. Under the excessive light condition, algae growth on the leaves is observed that make the plant look unattractive. Carbon dioxide is not a prerequisite for Anubias nana gold, but supplementing it will ensure faster growth and robust leaves. You can place this plant in the substrate, but its rhizomes must not be buried as they will rot and recede. Ideal pH level: The ideal pH for Anubias nana gold is 5.5 to 7. However, being an easily adjustable plant, it can survive if there is a minor fluctuation in pH as well. Do you know: Anubias nana gold is a perfect aquarium plant for aquascaping that you can use to fill gaps and holes in an aquascape layout. It is because this plant doesn’t require to be planted directly in the substrate; instead, you can attach it to the driftwood or woodwork that gives great results. Propagation is done by simply cutting or pulling apart the rhizomes that you want to reattach.Hemianthus Callitrichoides aka Dwarf Baby Tears or simply HC, is the epitome of carpet plants.  This is one of the smallest aquatic plants available and just the right flora for creating that lush foreground seen in many stunning aquascapes.  When grown in Iwagumi layouts, the vast fields of green can have a captivating effect on any audience. This plant can grow submerged or emersed in dry start aquariums and Wabi Kusa.  Because this plant is small with tiny roots, it can prove difficult to keep planted into the substrate.  In this case, dry start can help by allowing time for the roots to anchor into the substrate before flooding the tank. Although some have had success growing HC in smaller tanks using liquid carbon such as Excel, this species requires Co2 injection to truly thrive.  It can be quite difficult to grow lush, thick carpets for sustained periods of time without Co2, and fertilization is recommended.  To maintain a nice foreground Family Name: Scrophulariaceae Origin: North America, Cuba Height: 1-2” pH: 6-7.5 Care: Medium to Difficult Light: Medium to High Co2: Required Propagation: Cut new growth along with roots Growth rate: Moderate to FastA very special rarity, belonging to the diverse family of the Filmy Ferns. This tiny, moss-like fern was found in southwestern India on rocks along a stream. It is not yet identified with certainty and likely belongs to the species Crepidomanes malabaricum. In its natural habitat it is flooded during the rainy period only, however it can be grown permanently submerged in aquariums. This fern has tender, dark green, transparent leaves on a thin, creeping rhizome. It is recommendable to fix Crepidomanes cf. malabaricum on stone or wood, you may also leave the plant on the pad and place it in the aquarium foreground. This fern grows very slowly, forming a carpet by and by. It is rootless but develops dark, hair-like rhizoids on the rhizome which help it adhere to the substrate. This Crepidomanes doesn't need much light, but a good CO2 and nutrient supply, soft to medium hard water and a good water current are beneficial. Crepidomanes cf. malabaricum is a great enrichment for the aquascaping and looks particularly good in small-scale, delicate layouts, for example on vertical structures of the hardscape. Because of its extremely slow growth, one should pay attention to keep it from overrunning by other plants such as faster growing mosses.Aquarium plant from tissue culture in closed cup. This miniature version of the well-known Alternanthera is characterized by compact growth and a slower growth rate. It is particularly suitable for small aquariums or as a foreground plant in larger aquascapes. By careful trimming, it is possible to create a dense, red violet carpet of approximately 5 to 10 cm height. High light intensity and addition of CO2 improves the plants growth and overall appearance.
