Live Plants

an unusual and distinctive aquatic plant with a compact habit, curly leaves and a strikingly beautiful green colour

The Blyxa japonica originates in the nutrient rich shallow pools of water, swamps and slowly flowing rivers in East and South East Asia.

It is characterized by its beautiful light green leaves which are closer together than on the original Lobelia, and then it is also significantly smaller, hence the addition ‘Mini’ to the name of the plant.

A generally good plant for beginners who want a unique effect in the aquarium. The moss is popular in nano aquariums, and often used as brood care and cover.

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.

Rotala wallichii is a demanding plant that develops red shoot tips in good light conditions.

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

Glossostigma elatinoides from New Zealand is much in demand in Japanese-inspired aquariums.

Though Bucephalandras are from Asia and Anubias fom Africa, they have a lot in common, including how to grow them. 

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