Live Plants

This small rosulate plant will easily make a 5-10 cm high carpet when the light is good and the bottom layer nutritious.

It is an easy plant, tolerant of very different conditions in an aquarium. Appearance of the plant will partially depend on these conditions.

Stems become 10-30 cm long and 3-4 cm wide. Apart from relatively good light it makes few demands.

'Weeping' is a fleshy, 1-3 cm tall hanging moss with teardrop-like bright green shoots.

The moss becomes 3-10 cm thick and grows willingly on any surface, so it is ideal for decorating stones and tree roots or concealing installations in the aquarium.

Tight, vertical and softly undulating shoots give the impression of a deep green campfire, 5-15 cm high.

It is a brittle plant, and pieces break off easily, so it is best to place it in the aquarium attached to stones with fishing line or in small clumps among other plants such as Eleocharis.

Lilaeopsis brasiliensis from South America can grow very compact, but a "lawn effect'' (4-7 cm tall) is only achieved at high light intensity.

Eleocharis acicularis is very common and thrives in almost all conditions in an aquarium

This species comes from Australia and becomes 5-10 cm tall.
