Scrophulariaceae Limnophila Sp is a very rare aquatic stem plant with little information known about it. Very similar to Limnophila Mini Vietnam, Scrophulariaceae Limnophila Sp is a low-growing aquatic stem plant that does not grow tall like most aquatic stem plants such as Rotala and Ludwigia species. This unique growing pattern makes this aquarium plant suitable for mid-ground placement in a planted aquarium tank. Although Scrophulariaceae Limnophila Sp does not grow tall and out of control, it will still need adequate aquarium led lighting, CO2 injection and nutrient dense aquarium soil to grow well. Consistent trims will yield a bushy effect that is sought after by planted tank enthusiasts.
We recommend this plant for aquarists looking for a unique aquatic stem plant. Pruning is simple and can be done by replanting trimmed stems into quality aquarium soil.

Earlier, Hydrocotyle Tripartita was not in aquarium use; however, with time, the different variants of this green plant came into being and were explored by the aquarists for aquarium use. You can buy the tissue cultured Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honds" for the best result.
Advantages: There are multiple benefits of having a tissue cultured variant of Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" as the risk of pest infestation become negligible. Many times plants bought from pet stores bring pests with them that can hamper the growth of other plants. It is the reason why choosing tissue cultured Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" will ensure better results over normal Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" plant. Once you buy the tissue cultured plant, make sure to maintain water parameters within the prescribed range for its best growth.
Light and other requirements: Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" is an easy to grow plant. It doesn't have any high or peculiar demand. Instead, medium intensity light and medium carbon dioxide supply will fulfil its demand. You can occasionally provide fertilizers to the plant to get greener flora and dense growth. With the right parameters, Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" attains good compact growth and reaches 5-10 cm in height. The intense green leaves on vertical stems look too good and compliment other aquarium plants as well.
pH Requirements: The plant can thrive well under the pH requirements ranging between 5.5-8.0.
How to Use: Although Hydrocotyle Tripartita "Honda" is a foreground or midground plant, you can also use it as a carpet for the tank. All you need is when the plant attains around 5 cm height, gently press the leaves on the surface with the hand. The dense growth will give a beautiful carpet-like look to the tank.
Care: Remove the tissue culture gel from the plant before introducing it to the tank. Clean it thoroughly with water and remove the gel with a soft brush or your hands. The gel may bring slight changes in the water parameters. Therefore, make sure it is completely removed from the plant before burying in the substrate. | Anubias barteri var. glabra is a medium-sized Anubias that comes from rainforest streams in West Africa. There are several different forms of the variety glabra with more or less elliptic to lanceolate leaves. It is also sold under the names Anubias minima and Anubias "Kruising".
The variety glabra is as as undemanding and robust as many other Anubias forms. It grows well as epiphyte on the hardscape as well as fixed to the substrate (don't bury the rhizome!). Its narrow, lanceolate leaves are an interesting contrast to other, rather broad-leaved Anubias forms.
Anubias barteri var. glabra is widely spread in West Africa, from Guinea to Gabun. The plant forms dense populations on river banks and rocks in and on forest rivulets, where they often share the same habitat with Bolbitis heudelotii and Crinum natans.

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.

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.

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. | Cryptocoryne parva fromac Sri Lanka is the smallest of all Cryptocorynes (only 3-6 cm tall and a roset less than 5-8 cm wide). It is one of the few species that does not significantly change its leaf shape and colour depending on cultivation conditions. It needs more light than most other Cryptocorynes because it almost loses its leaf plate under water. So, it must never be overshadowed by other plants.
Known for its slow growth, but Nutrition Capsules in the bottom layer will enhance the development. Individual plants should be planted a few centimetres apart, and after about six months they will form a cohesive low group of plants.
