Cabomba aquatica
The Cabomba aquatica is a gorgeous fine-leafed stem plant from tropical South America. This aquatic plant comes from sunny, fast flowing to calm, acid, very soft waters. There are different forms of this species, e.g. the reddish “Cabomba schwartzii”, however the customary form has light green leaves. The stems of Cabomba aquatica may get more than one meter long and have pairs of up to 9 cm wide, fan-shaped submerged leaves with fine segments. When the shoots reach the water surface, shield-shaped floating leaves and yellow flowers may appear.
In contrast to the winter-hardy Carolina fanwort Cabomba caroliniana, an invasive species in Europe, the tropical Cabomba aquatica is still allowed to be traded in the European Union. For all kinds of aquarium plants, it must be ensured that they do not enter waters and sewage systems. Dispose aquarium plants via the household waste only.
Cabomba aquatica is a demanding aquarium plant. Strong lighting, soft, flowing water and CO2 addition are important, as well as macro and micronutrient supply on a regular basis. The optimum temperature range lies between 23 and 27 °C. As well as other stem plants, The Giant Cabomba can be propagated by cuttings, it also develops new shoots at the basis of older stems.
This Cabomba looks best in larger, at least 50 cm high tanks, as a group or larger stand in the background to midground. Its light green, filigree foliage contrasts with darker or red, more coarsely textured plants. In open tanks, also its floating leaves and small yellow flowers offer an interesting sight; they may develop when the stems are allowed to grow along the surface.
Cabomba aquatica is a highly variable fanwort originating from the northern and central parts of South America. There are various colour varieties, the most frequently found in trade form of which is a green plant named giant Cambomba.
C. aquatica has up to 8.5 cm long and 9.5 cm wide submersed leaves parted into a great many fine tips. When the sprouts reach the water surface, on its tip widely oval to roundish, shield-shaped floating leaves may form, as well as yellow, mostly two-fold flowers
Hydrocotyle leucocephala, commonly known as Brazilian Pennywort, is a versatile and attractive aquatic plant. Here’s a detailed profile:
Common Name: Brazilian Pennywort Scientific Name: Hydrocotyle leucocephala Family: Apiaceae Origin: Central and South America
Lighting: Medium to high intensity CO2: Beneficial but not essential Water Parameters:
The Easy-Life 25 Root Sticks are ideal to feed plants directly at the roots. The product contains 25 pieces of special clay sticks that are very nutritious and have a high iron content. Due to the special pre-treatment of these sticks, they do not fall apart immediately upon contact with water. The release of nutrients goes very gradually over a period of several weeks. The water will not get cloudy at all, so algae cannot take advantage of that. The product is very easy to use and causes no additional water pollution.
Use these root sticks for plants with a strong need for root nutrition such as Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus or Lotus. If the soil layer is very narrow or the plant roots are small, the sticks can be very easily broken into smaller pieces. The root sticks can therefore be used in all cases.
Rotala rotundifolia Blood red ‘Singapore’ is a real eye-catcher as an about 20 – 40 cm high bush in the midground and background. It contrasts particularly well with light green plants and adds a rich red tone to the varied shades of R. rotundifolia forms.
‘Singapore Blood Red’, also “Blood Red Singapore”, certainly has the most intense red colouring of all Rotala rotundifolia forms. Under the same conditions, this Rotala has a darker red shade than R. rotundifolia ‘Colorata’. As with “normal” Rotala rotundifolia, the shoots grow mostly upright to ascending, in very strong light also more or less horizontally. As with “normal” Rotala rotundifolia, the shoots grow to over 50 cm long, but look better if they are kept about 20 – 40 cm high by cutting and replanting cuttings. They branch quite well, the bushy growth is promoted by occasional pruning.
This splendid red stem plant shares fast growth and easy culture with other forms of round-leaved Rotala. It still grows in moderate lighting and without added CO2, but looks best with strong light, added CO2 and complete macro and micronutrient fertilisation through the water column. Propagation is easy via head cuttings and side shoots.
